White Snake Family

About this work

White serpents intertwine in a composition that maps familial intimacy onto a classical auspicious motif—the snake as emblem of regeneration and guardianship. Built on a wooden panel in mixed media, the work allows the natural wood grain to merge with painted layers, lending the surface both tactile depth and warmth. Drawing on traditional Japanese iconography while folding it into a personal visual lexicon, the piece channels the artist's method of reconstructing canonical imagery through independent research and reinterpretation.
