True Tea Lover

Calligraphies in gouaches and watercolor on Magnani Bianca paper, 185 gs.
Box and cup of tea with plate.

The original text belongs to a Chinese poet and it is written in English:
"The first bowl sleekly moistened throat and lips. The second banished all my loneliness. The third expelled the dullness from my mind, sharpening inspiration gained from all the books I've read. The fourth brought forth light perspiration, dispersing a lifetimes troubles through my pores. The fifth bowl cleansed every atom of my being. The sixth has made me kin to the Immortals. This seventh... I can take no more."
Lu Tung, Chinese Poet

This artwork was created for a teenager, for her 15 year old birthday.

Each tea bag was designed in the computer using the Photoshop program. The background patterns are parts of my own artworks. The labels on the tea bags were designed on Illustrator creating a brand with the girl´s name. The tea bags were handmade and each one represents one year in her life. The tea cup & plate are real objects and the tabs have personal characteristics of the teenager.
The hole artwork was assembled in a box lined with the tea labels.
