Hou Yi — The Archer Who Saved the World - Anthony Van Lam

Series: Chinese Mythology & Creativity — The Tales My Mother Told Me

Inspired by the legend of Hou Yi and the Ten Suns, this shadow box honours courage, protection, restraint and purpose. The removable bow, arrows, quiver and display stand become tactile artefacts that collectors may gently hold and return to their place. They symbolise protection not through force, but through wisdom, balance and the courage to act at the right moment.

“True protection begins when courage is guided by wisdom.”
