Exposition:

The females, flowers and plants by Li Shuang are not tender, gorgeous, or eye-dazzling. Her works are easily associated in thinking with the peace and gentleness expressed by Avalokitesvara holding lotus and standing aloof from worldly success. A lot of Chinese and French art commentators indicate that Li Shuang’s paintings are possessed of religious colors and classic beauty. Li Shuang said, “I am probably the only Chinese woman who draw portraits from the spiritual dimension;” “China has to guard its culture and dignity.” For me, every set of numbers carries a particular meaning. For example, 3-7-10, triangle, means to disseminate gentleness; 4-9-12, square, means to be full of luck and, in my opinion, good fortune; 1-6-14, cross shape, means crystals and jewelry; 5-2-19, circle, indicates a waltz consitiuted of human, animal, flowers and plants.

For me, every set of numbers is satisfaction bestowed by the infinitely powerful universe upon us, and it depends on us how we derive benefits.
