This mixed media work was featured in the invitational exhibition "Women on Paper" at the Sager Reeves Gallery in April, 2021, and is reproduced in the exhibition catalogue.
"Wufu (Chinese: 五福), meaning the five blessings, is a concept that signifies a grouping of certain good fortunes and luck in Chinese culture. The number five is regarded as an auspicious number in Chinese traditions and closely associated with the Five Elements (Wu Xing, Chinese: 五行), which are essential for a good life as well as the basic organisational principle in Chinese thought. As a result, the number five appears ubiquitously as in the Five Blessings..." - Wiki
This work depicts the five fingers of two human hands - reprising the Chinese them of #5 denoting good luck, but also alluding to the familiar "Hamsa"(Arabic: خمسة khamsah) the palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and in the Maghreb and commonly used in jewelry and wall hangings. Depicting the open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many times throughout history, the hamsa is believed to provide defense against the evil eye. Khamsah is an Arabic word that means "five", but also "the five fingers of the han.
Thus, we believe that purchasing this auspicious work will bestow double luck upon the recipient.
