In my ongoing series, "Year of the...", I've dedicated years to exploring the visual symbols of the Chinese zodiac. The Wood Dragon, being the animal of 2024, embodies magnificence, confidence, and ambition, accompanied by strengths like Luck, Courage, and Success. It is interesting to note that the Dragon is the only mystical creature in the Chinese zodiac! This vertical image captures a vintage Dragon Kite acquired from my first visit to Beijing in 2005. A rediscovery found in a cloth covered box after nearly two decades, inspiring and symbolizing the spirit of this, the Year of the Dragon.
