Dragons, symbols of Chinese culture, are woven into countless fables and proverbs, embodying continuity and coordination. This artwork represents these ideas uniquely. Using a bamboo kite from Weifang, China's Kite Capital, as a canvas, I've added ads from five Chinese cities, showcasing services from birth to death. These form a dragon's body, illustrating life's journey as a 'service of coordinated process.' The design, inspired by traditional buildings where dragons spiral up columns, symbolizes time's upward spiral. This dragon, breaking from its sacred, royal image, now symbolizes accessible, everyday services – soaring high and delving deep into life's complexities.
