When Perception was first conceived, its chief inspirations were the traditional cues found throughout Chinese architecture. A key feature of many traditional Chinese architectural compounds was the presence of 盆景 (pén jǐng), or landscape gardens which were placed at the heart of a home or courtyard to serve as visual and symbolic centres.

The choice of Pietersite, with its deep blue-black tones and swirling patterns, naturally echoes the visual imprint and spirit of 山水盆景 (shānshuǐ pénjǐng), or mountain-water landscape gardens, the oldest and most classical renditions of such gardens. Its swirling patterns mimic their cascading streams, and its foundational bands of dark quartz evoke the weathered rock faces rising from those waters.
