At the moment my brother saw the light of the day, I was so happy to have him as my brother. In reality, we always fought each other, and just compromised not long ago—thus, I want to wish him with the unsaid words through this artwork. I get the inspiration from the beginning of dragon, derived from the belief and Chinese proverb “鲤跃龙门 (lǐyuèlóngmén)”, which is the mythology of Carp in the Yellow River. The story has been told that a carp that can swim upstream to the river source at the Yellow River, throughout the swift current, and lay its eggs in the spring will cross the Dragon Gate and be transformed into a dragon. Hence, Carp is recognized as the symbol of Tango no Sekku (Boy’s day). This picture portrays the way leading one to conquer every obstacles, and landing at the beautiful destination, being the representative of wishing one all the best and success.
