The Hand of Fatima
The hand of Fatima: my item is an amulet that protects you from the EVIL EYE and brings brings Good Luck. It's a supersticious belief that started in the Oriental world long ago, it's a tradition to wear it as a talisman or place it in the car or at home. The hand holds in its center the Eye of God, which can be interpreted as a sixth sense.
The hand of Fatima's colour is usually blue. The blue that echoes the sky as well as the mediterranean. It can be made from glass or ceramic and sometimes of copper(yellow).
I am not really superstitious but I believe in negative energy and perhaps this charm can keep it away from our body promising us good health also.
My three key words:
-Serenity: when the hand of Fatima is worn as a pendentive close to the body, it's protective value brings serenity.
-Amulet: an magic item that protects from the negative energy and spirit.
-Myth and Tradition: a story or a belief to which one attaches an emotional importance of memory.

OBJECT: ZHONG KUI ( 鍾馗 ）
ZHONG KUI ACTUALLY WAS A PERSON IN CHINESE'S FOLKTALE . HE APPEARED OF THE HISTORY IN TANG DYNASTY . HE WAS A PERSON WHO HAD GREAT TALENT OF LITERATURE AND HAD GREAT AMBITION OF HIS COUNTRY . HE GOT THE FIRST AWARD OF THE IMPERIAL EXAMINATION . THE EMPEROR OF TANG REFUSED HIS CREDIT BECAUSE OF HIS UGLY APPEARENCE AND INSULTED HIM IN THE PUBLIC .THIS REFLECTION MADE HIM ASHAMED THEN HE KILLED HIMSELF IN FRONT OF THE EMPEROR . THE EMPEROR FELT VERY GUILTY ABOUT WHAT HE DONE AND APPOINTED ZHONG KUI AS THE AMBASSADOR OF HELL WHO EXORCISED EVILS ALSO PROTECTED THE COUNTRY BY HIS SOUL .
MY 3 KEYWORDS:
(1) INNER :THIS WORD MEANS ZHONG KUI'S INNER BEAUTY . THE GOOD INSIDE OF THE PEOPLE ,NO MATTER WHAT THEY LOOK OR WAHT THEY SHOULD BE . NOT APPARENT BUT NEED SOME TIME TO DISCOVER.
(2) STRONG :THIS WORD MEANS THE STRONG PERSONALITY AND SPIRIT INSIDE , THE STRONG SHAPE OUTSIDE . EVERYTHING IS CLEAR AND PERFECT.
(3) AWESOME :THIS WORD MEANS THE COMPOSITION
SHOWING OUTSIDE TO MAKE ONESELF GAINS RESPECT FROM OTHERS . DANGEROUS BUT ATTRACTIVE .
