The crude crate panels are carefully deconstructed, cut into faceted pieces, and reassembled to echo the ceramic vessels they once held. This meticulous process preserves the crates\u2019 stampings and markings, tangible traces of their journey from Asia to the U.S, symbolically reflecting the migration stories of the Lum Family at W.O.W. and my own. Through labor and material, the piece honors heritage, resilience, and the shared act of gathering.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/?attachment_id=597529\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-597529\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-597529\" src=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/01\/F5-Vivian-Chiu-Works-8-Peaches-810x1099.jpg\" alt=\"A wooden vase by Vivian Chiu with a narrow neck, wide body, and two large circular openings reveals a painted interior adorned with abstract colorful designs.\" width=\"810\" height=\"1099\" srcset=\"https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/01\/F5-Vivian-Chiu-Works-8-Peaches-810x1099.jpg 810w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/01\/F5-Vivian-Chiu-Works-8-Peaches-800x1085.jpg 800w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/01\/F5-Vivian-Chiu-Works-8-Peaches-768x1042.jpg 768w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/01\/F5-Vivian-Chiu-Works-8-Peaches-1133x1536.jpg 1133w, https:\/\/design-milk.com\/images\/2026\/01\/F5-Vivian-Chiu-Works-8-Peaches.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Revolving Vase (9 Peaches)<\/strong><br \/>\n17\u201dx 10\u201d x10\u201d<br \/>\nPine Crate Wood from Wing On Wo &amp; Co., Natural and Dyed Wood Veneers, Plywood, Hardware, Rosewood Stand (Not Pictured)<br \/>\n2025<br \/>\n\u201cRevolving Vase (Nine Peaches)\u201d reimagines an 18th-century Qianlong revolving vase, drawing inspiration from the traditional \u201cNine-Peaches Vase,\u201d a symbol of longevity and immortality in Chinese culture.
