Yang designed this artwork to be one that represents benevolence and joy.  Combining classical representation with light-bending crystal, the Mazu here sits nobly exuding kindness and compassion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Goddess Mazu is typically depicted in a seated position until the first standing sculpture of Mazu was discovered in 1989.
