Year of the Dragon reimagines the Chinese zodiac through Black presence, where our stories are not adjacent to the symbol, but the symbol itself.Centring those who follow the tradition yet rarely see themselves in its imagery. Rather than borrowing aesthetics, the piece proposes kinship: a meeting of cultures where symbolism travels, evolves and includes. Fine digital craftsmanship, layered textures, precise edge work and controlled light create a surface that feels both mythic and contemporary. Year of the Dragon asks what becomes possible when erased stories are rendered visible in pixels and myth, offering an image that is captivating, formidable and, above all, recognisable to those who have long looked for themselves inside the Chinese zodiac.
