he dragon symbolizes power, auspiciousness, and a spiritual totem for an entire cul- ture. In my work, I’ve chosen a playful and meaningful theme—ushering in good for- tune with the spirit of the dragon. I depict abstract forms of dragons, their serpentine bodies soaring through clouds, plucking the celestial peach from the Queen Mother of the West to bestow blessings upon those entering the Year of the Dragon in 2024.
