Past and present play together in this surreal architectural exploration of female strength, embodied by the Empress. A Dolce & Gabbana designer piece structures her form just as the historical architecture of Beijing’s famous ‘hutong’ alleys, painted here bursting free of the portrait space, structures the modern concrete jungle of that city today.
Delicate botanical elements thrive and bloom, just as “She”, The Empress, will do so, timeless and dreamlike, a spirit eternal and peaceful in the Now against the rising chaotic storm of modernity, and despite the lures of contemporary materialism. Her experience is one of becoming, an ever-evolving creative unfolding of identity.
