In her work she often grapples with her own roots. Dragons and turtles are considered lucky animals in Asia. With its shell, the tortoise stands for constant protection, but also for long life. The background color is influenced by jade. The three eyes have a spiritual meaning ("you can see everything") and it is traditional for women to wear make-up with a red dot.
