Flowers and fruits
In the days and weeks leading up to the start of the New Year, homes are cleaned from top to bottom and no corner or crevice is left un-swept. The rooms are then decorated with vases of flowers and live plants.
Fresh and candied fruits are also laid out in the home. All of these play a part in the celebration and all have a special meaning and tradition behind them. Live, blooming flowers symbolize the rebirth that will take place with the coming spring and fruit blossoms symbolize the start of the cycle that will result in a new crop of fruit later in the year. Fruits and flowers in the home are believed to bring good luck and good fortune to the home in the coming year.
Oranges and tangerines are very popular as, among other things, they symbolize abundant happiness. When visiting family or friends during the New Year's season it is customary to bring a gift of a bag of oranges and tangerines.
There is now an opportunity to create ‘ghost products’ or create a play on ‘positive negative space’ though flowers and fruits in relation to a table. These are possessions of which one would use to explore the ‘re-birth’ of an individual for the New Year by means of good luck and fortune.

So in that case - it could be about 'displaying' the fruit like sculpture high on a pedestal - iconising the tangerine. Funny how many people choose to iconise their CD's isnt it?
