PART FOUR OF FOUR

四章之其四

On this stage is a piece of painting I am showing to the world for the first time. It is the single biggest piece of painting I have done so far and I did it in collaboration with Eric.  

在这台上，是一张我首次呈现给世间的画，也是我至今为止我画过最大幅的一张画。是爱力克先生与我合作完成的。

The base of this painting is seven types of silk cloths Eric has created, sewn together, blending Cambodian traditional silk weaving and his modern creation. 

画底是爱力克先生用他织的七种丝布贴缝而成。织法溶合了柬普寨传统织丝法与他的现代织布法。

On this silk cloth, I have painted 12 peacocks, representing the 12 full moons of a year. 

在这片丝布上我画上十二只孔雀，代表一年的十二个月。

No, there were never 12 moons, only one moon. But there were 12 times the moon is full, coming into full contact with this side of the earth. 

对！月球只有一个，月亮却有十二次。那是月球与地球的这一面，最直接最正面的相会。

What would the moon do to earth when they both meet? They create tides. And when human beings harnessed the tides created from the relationship of moon and earth, we created agriculture. 

月球与地球的相会产生了什么？产生了水的潮汐。人类掌握了潮汐便产生了＂农耕文明＂。

And that is the beginning of the history of the earth when homo sapiens started producing in excess of what we need. 

这是地球史上，首次有一个物种，＂人类＂可以生产出，比自己需求高出许多倍的盈余。

And this excess, which is reproducible and reinvest able, is also called “prosperity”. 

这种盈余，除了可以保存，也可以重新生产，重新投资。这便是＂富足＂的开始与定义。

No animals on earth have understood how to harness the relationship between earth and moon to create excess. That’s why no animals except human beings understand the creation of prosperity. 

除了万物之灵的人类，地球上沒有其它生物懂得利用月球与地球的相会制造盈余。所以也只有人类知道如何产生＂富足＂。

That is why this piece of painting I have painted, I call it “The Power of Prosperity of the Moon.”

所以这幅画我命名为＂月之致富的能量＂。

The event tonight is called “The Weave of Prosperity and Elegance “. 

今晚的盛会我们称之为＂富贵与高雅的交织＂。

It is the meeting of the universe of Eric Raisina, timeless fashion and textiles design, and the universe of Lotus on Water Feng Shui art. 

指的是爱力克先生的丝绸时装的宇宙，与云龙子风水艺术的宇宙，交织而相会。

I wish for you that you would enjoy the Laurent Perrier Champagne and the canapes, the fashion and the catwalks, and my paintings in spotlight and ultraviolet light.

我希望您好好享用罗兰百悦香槟与美味小食，也希望您欣赏时装与美秀，更希望你也欣赏我的画在闪光灯下的孔雀及萤光灯下的繁星。

And most importantly, I wish for you to harness the tide of prosperity that is created by the meeting of Eric Raisina’s universe with Lotus on Water’s universe.

最重要的，是希望你能撑握两个星球，两个宇宙的相会而产生的潮汐。

Thank you very much for being here to meet with us and to witness our meeting here tonight.

感谢您今晚莅临与我们相会并见证我们的相会。
