Artwork Statement
The Young Goddess of Fate reimagines an ancient Chinese goddess drifting through a mist of colours, her form dissolving into ribbons of light and breath. She moves between worlds, rooted in myth, yet unfolding in the language of dreams.
Behind her, a network of crimson roots unfurls, threading through the atmosphere like veins of the earth. More than botanical, these roots are lifelines — linking her to origins beneath the surface. Their red tones pulse with quiet vitality, speaking of nourishment, ancestry, and the hidden resilience that sustains all growth.
She becomes a vessel for the feminine spirit: grounded yet weightless, fragile yet enduring—an embodiment of the unseen forces that shape all that blooms.
