The Dragon's Roar

Expressive Abstract Mixed Media on Paper

20 by 28 in

"The Dragon's Roar" is an edgy modern abstract art piece inspired by punk rock and graffiti art, reflecting the battle that many of us—myself included—face with anxiety and depression. This mixed media collage incorporates fragments from the drug instructions that come with antidepressant bottles, adding a raw and personal layer to the work.

As this colorful art piece came together intuitively, new forms began to emerge, including what looked like a dragon's head. This unexpected element evoked the image of the inner critic as a dragon roaring in our ears—a metaphor for the internal battles we wage against mental health struggles, akin to the knights battling dragons in folklore.

While society has made progress in bringing mental health issues into the open, there is still much more to be done, and I believe art can help lead the way. "The Dragon's Roar" is not just a piece of abstract art for sale; it is a powerful statement about resilience and the ongoing fight for mental health awareness.
