Integrity & resilience
Bamboo is one of the Four Gentlemen. Its upright stems and hollow interior have inspired associations with integrity and an open mind.
Inside this paper pattern
Two jointed stems rise through small sprays of pointed leaves. The source silhouette is adapted with paper bridges between its separate parts.
