A Chu-Shr is a colored line/fabric work which is hung from Heaven to Earth (ceiling to floor) according
to ancient Chinese Feng Shui tradition. The top color of the Chu-Shr corresponds with one of the eight
sides/areas of the bagua, representing the aspirations or life situations of human beings. It is derived
from The Book of Changes (I Ching). By hanging a Chu-Shr in the proper area of the room, intention is kept
in the spiritual energy of the environment. The lower strands of the Chu-Shr help manifest forthcoming good by
intensifying our focus and keeping us alert to possibilities in the following areas: Career (Black),
Knowledge (Black/Blue/Green), Family/Health (Green), Wealth/Prosperity (Blue/Purple/Red), Fame (Red),
Romance/Marriage (Red/Pink/White), Creativity/Children (White), and Helpful People/Travel (White/Gray/Black).
The series of Chu-Shr fabric hangings on the
right are based on the eight traditions
in union with the cultural symbols
and zemis. These cross-cultural art pieces are created to empower intention in life. They are as follows:
Aco—Knowledge, Legends—Fame, Mata Mata—Career, Coa—Helpful People, Atabey &
