The number 8 is central in many traditions, seen in the I Ching's trigrams, the 8 Immortals, Buddhist symbols, and auspicious motifs. These elements often appear as interconnected serial narratives, enriched with figures, scenes, landscapes, and symbols. To illustrate this, we showcase nine exquisite objects from the UMAG collection, each with eight sections or motifs, highlighting the diversity of Chinese craftsmanship and storytelling. These works serve as microcosms of mythology, reflecting a vast network of relationships within a larger system. The book also features six contemporary artistsโ€”YAU Wing Fung, Daphne Alexis HO, YU Hee, Adrian FALKNER, Klaus MERKEL, and Arvid BOECKERโ€”demonstrating that serial and systemic narratives continue to inspire modern art. Join us in exploring the timeless dialogue between tradition and contemporary creativity.
