Paulownia and Fenghuang

Long revered as an auspicious symbol, the houoh is a mythical bird that exists not in the physical world but in the cultural imagination. Paired with the paulownia, a traditional emblem closely associated with the houoh, the work evokes an atmosphere of grace and good fortune. Through the layered application of gold leaf, the artist creates a rich sense of spatial depth, capturing both the bird's elegant flight and its mystical presence.
