This is a handcrafted linocut print inspired by the Dragon and Phoenix - a mythical creature pairing from Vietnam. One aerial the other aquatic, one feathered the other scaled, this beloved coupling echoes the vast ancient landscape of land and sea from which it was imagined: salt and freshwater estuaries, coastal marshes, braided rivers and mangroves—a marriage-place of worlds. The enduring wisdom of this couple and their courtship lies in discovering hidden treasures within unexpected connections—and in witnessing what new wonders are born when we choose communion over separation, curiosity over fear, and unity despite our differences.
