Bluestone Water-Moon Guanyin (Avalokiteshvara) Courtyard Landscape Sculpture

Gardens & Resorts

This project commissions a focal centerpiece sculpture for a high-end, Zen-inspired residential courtyard and meditation garden. The sculpture depicts the Water-Moon Guanyin (Water-Moon Avalokiteshvara), a manifestation symbolizing the illusory nature of reality and the depth of spiritual detachment, gazing at the reflection of the moon in the water.

Carved from premium, weathered natural bluestone, the artwork bridges classical Eastern iconography with contemporary minimalist landscape design. The sculpture aims to create a profound sense of tranquility, mindfulness, and timeless elegance, serving as a spiritual anchor for the outdoor sanctuary.

Sculpture Dimensions

The proportions are optimized for an outdoor courtyard setting, ensuring a commanding yet harmonious presence.

Dimension Measurement (Inches) Notes
Height 78.5 in (approx. 200 cm) Total height including the integrated lotus pedestal base.
Width 47.2 in (approx. 120 cm) Widest point of the rockery and seating posture.
Depth 35.4 in (approx. 90 cm) Front-to-back clearance required for stable placement.

Note on Materiality: Because this sculpture is carved from a solid block of natural bluestone, the final weight is estimated to be around 3,300 lbs. Ground reinforcement and a concrete sub-base are highly recommended prior to installation.
