Centered around the theme of "marine ecology protection", this series includes four ceramic vases in different color palettes, each drawing inspiration from the myriad wonders of marine life. Every wrinkled leaf design on the vase incorporates the images of undulating waves, swaying seaweeds, corals, and the fluid movement of fins, radiating a vibrant and dynamic essence. These wrinkled leaves are layered closely together, symbolizing the resilient growth and struggle of countless marine species. This design not only visually communicates the boundless vitality of the ocean, but also underscores the survival threats marine life confronts due to environmental degradation.

Crafted using traditional Chinese ceramic techniques, this series showcases four distinct color schemes, revealing a journey from life's exuberance to its subtle ebb, and ultimately to the solemn ending. The pairing of white and blue glazes symbolizes the ocean's beauty and vitality; the deep red glaze speckled with dark spots poignantly reflects the dwindling vibrancy of marine life in the face of ecological degradation; the interplay of red and blue glazes against a white backdrop signifies the waning of life; and the unicolored crystalline glaze encapsulates the essence of life that has been forever stilled, reminiscent of beings immortalized as fossils.

This series of ceramic vases aims to inspire viewers to deeply reflect on the existence and evolution of life, while also fostering their awareness of marine ecosystem protection. More than just an art piece, this thought-provoking design carries profound significance and offers substantial societal value.
