The Thousand Flower Shop c.2025

Mouthblown glass flowers in mirror polished stainless steel base, with vinyl lamp shade on steel frame.

Part of an ongoing collaboration between Tang Thousand and
Lucie Claudia Podrabska, The Flower Shop presents three mirror-polished stainless steel bases supporting a total of twenty-seven hand-blown crystal flowers, arranged beneath and around an awning lamp.

The installation operates as a twofold time capsule: the mouth-blown glass blooms capture the fleeting perfection of flowers suspended in permanence, while the lamp recalls the ceremonial presence of Chinatown's streetscape.

From the luminous frame to the delicate crystal stems, each element embodies a deliberate tension between memory and material, beauty and decay.
