The trio "Celestial Scale" interrogates time’s triple nature through the lotus and the Big Dipper’s seed-constellation.Together, they are not a triptych but a single orbit—circling the same truth: that to be weighed by the cosmos is to be freed by it.

The Big Dipper’s seed-trail does not divide, but connects—threading the hollowed pod to its mirrored bloom, the subject’s turned back to her own offering. The petal beyond the glass is not fallen, but suspended mid-descent, as if time itself hesitates to confirm their fate. This is karma not as consequence, but as resonance: an act rippling through the mirror’s depthless pool, its origin already forgotten, its weight still unfolding.

Notes:
The Big Dipper is a celestial clock marking the passage of time and the seasons changing. While the lotus plant is a powerful symbol of the cycle of life, living its alternating existence below and above the water surface.

Xidong Luo is a self-taught fine art photographer based in southern China. She specializes in using mirrors, flowers and other natural elements to honor the grace of age, to express the evanescent feminine beauty and the built-in female pain, the deep connection between female and nature, Yin and Yang, life and death.

Her creation is deeply rooted in and influenced by the traditional Chinese philosophy Taoism, which claims that “Heaven and earth coexist with me, and all things and I are one”.

The inspiration of using mirrors came from a Chinese idiom “镜花水月”. Literally it means "flowers in the mirror and the moon reflected in the water", which is a metaphor of the UNCERTAINTY, UNATTAINABILITY and NOTHINGNESS of life itself. While visually, besides adding more dimensions and emotive weights to the creation, it leads to a disorientation in time and space, now and then, here and there, slightly surreal.

As an amateur dancer, she takes the advantage by using herself as the medium of expression to accomplish her art projects ever since the COVID-19 lockdown. Yet it's not just about the beauty of a body shape, it’s more about her profound comprehending and cherishing of life through sorrowfully accepting its fleeting nature.
