Artist's comments: The irregular reliefs, reminiscent of realistic dragon skin, serve as a modern accent and represent the presence of the dragon with its majesty and mysterious power. Its dragon skin is inspired by the ancient Greco-Roman goddess of fortune, Tyche, who holds the wheel of fortune, with the qualities of fortune beyond the measure of destiny.

Art enriches life and its ultimate function is to make people happier.
