The Red Dragon for PAP magazine, vol 30. May issue

The Red Dragon explores transformation through Chinese mythology, shaped with model Zimeng and designer Joseph William Raidt. The dragon is seen as a force of nature, connected to landscape, energy, and balance, becoming a layered symbol of power, protection, and emotion. Red reflects luck, vitality, celebration, and urgency. The work moves between reality and imagination, reflecting womanhood, resilience, and change. Hand-painted backdrops echo elements of earth, trees, and growth.
