The circular and fluxion brushstrokes of the running script (行書) of the character “The Righteousness (義)”, which suggests the vital energy (氣) of kindness and inclusiveness. The two right triangles are pointing to Heaven and Earth suggestively, the combination of the two triangles will form the “Star of David” (a symbol of Jewish culture). While the background dyeing with Chinese black tea of Puer (普洱茶 ) is the indication of simple and sincere of Chinese culture. Henry Ho is a Chinese Canadian artist base on Toronto, his task is to share the Chinese art and wisdom to the rest of the world.
