參與荊山經典文創藝術比賽，作者秉持著結合夏荊山藝術家的書畫作品或其背後之蘊含的「慈善理念」與「人生哲理」為發想，連結「文化」與「創意」，激發更深、更廣社會人文關注的作品。
作者對意涵之理解：
觀音菩薩「大慈與一切眾生樂，大悲撥一切眾生苦」，乃「慈悲」、「智慧」與「和平」的精神象徵。
夏荊山藝術家的書畫作品——《白衣觀音》
Introduction
以圓為意象，簡約形構出觀世音菩薩尊處自在的純淨圓滿。以白瓷傳遞如蓮生聖潔，懷具慈悲；透明玻璃則澄見空性智慧，觀眾生情，暸世間意；白大理石乃舒展的慈眉與善目，一片菩提心在春風過物裡，層次、朗現。茶身暗浮的紋理若菩薩四垂的白衣，壺蓋則是留宿楊柳的甘露，在光透的當下明心見性。茶人藉著一茶飲思索、推敲禪機，於是沸騰，於是緣起，於是清寂映射身心。愛與慈悲終究由內沛然，雖說塵世依然，重啟，再出發。
Guanyin Bodhisattva is a symbol of benevolence, so the design of the shape is based on the circle. The core value of mercy and lotus like sacredness is transmitted in white porcelain, and the transparent glass implies insightful wisdom. The marble represents Bodhisattva’s smoothing eyebrows, and its whiteness are raised to different levels to reflect pure Bodhi Citta. The texture of the tea symbolizes the white floating clothes of Guanyin Bodhisattva. The shiny teapot lid is like a drip on a willow. The product presents a clean and translucent reflection of the heart and true self so that drinkers can reflect and meditat during the process of tea drinking. Thus, users would feel the harmony of the body and mind, and then restart again.
