To believe in love once more—a pure, clean, sincere, childlike love.To become a child again, loving from the most genuine corner of our being.

Like the Chinese legend of the dragon fish,I swam against the strongest rivers until I finally transformed into a dragoness.Like the Japanese cherry blossom tree that was on the verge of withering,I believed again, and I was set free.

This piece was created in Dubai using recycled IKEA bags, an old printed canvas, a sequined blouse from Mexico, repurposed Chinese decorations, a recycled flyer from a pest-control company, a blue polo shirt, green sequin flowers, and a dog diaper.

The original was damaged — or so they said.A second sample can be reproduced in a similar form.
