Two creatures sit across from each other, exhaling stories and wisdom into the air like curling smoke. The dragon, adorned in celestial patterns, reclines with an air of authority—he is the past, the storyteller, the survivor of the previous year’s chaos. The serpent, cloaked in vibrant robes, listens intently—he is the present, the student, the inheritor of both crisis and fortune.
Between them, a hookah stands like a ritualistic relic, channeling their words into ephemeral shapes. This piece blends humor, mythology, and pop culture, capturing a moment of transition as one era gives way to the next.
