Artwork Description
I was inspired by Wuxing's theory of the five elements and imagined what the five domestic animals could look like according to their elements or movements, colour and inner state. I wanted to impress myself without resorting to established animal characters, as children would have done. It's a story about emotions, feelings and the happiness of the process of exploration.
