Wings 1

Graceful wings unfold across the surface in a golden eggshell mosaic.

Each fragment is hand-placed with tweezers over weeks of meticulous work — 80+ hours of inlay. 20–30 layers of natural lacquer are applied and hand-polished to a mirror finish. Museum quality craftsmanship using a 1,000-year Cambodian tradition.

Symbolism

Wings represent ascension and spiritual flight — the soul rising toward light. Natural lacquer symbolises longevity and eternal protection. Eggshell embodies birth, renewal, and resurrection. Gold captures the eternal value of life.
