"Lambent Souls" is a piece that was made to honor the artist's family and their journey as immigrants. The glowing Chinese lanterns hanging from the tree branch each represent a member of the family, and the wispy white dragon that weaves through the lanterns symbolizes the strength, luck, and prosperity that surrounds them. Inspired by traditional Chinese symbolism and ancient ink landscape paintings, the piece honors the resilience and sacrifices that the artist's family made, while celebrating the light that they have carried with them into the present.
