Spring Overture: All Things in Harmony reimagines coexistence across borders. Drawing on Dunhuang’s mural grandeur, Indian miniature intricacy, and Egyptian wall art’s archaic simplicity, the work weaves a cross-cultural backdrop. Elephants, giraffes, hippos, rhinos, and wading birds rest together in serene unity, their gentle forms blending in translucent washes—where species and continents meet without division.
