Dragon of Unity.

Jimmy Medel, Pomo and Yuki
Ink, acrylic, pencil, wax and glue on paper, 2021, 23x18”

The dragon is a dark demon, a protector, fighting for freedom, equality, and human rights.
The injustice has been going on forever; we’ve all experienced it.
Dream for an equal society.
Frustration and anger.
We all become accustomed to struggles over cultural and national identity.
Our ability to learn from these horrific experiences depends on our ability for change.
We are able to lead our society toward a real change and transformation.
We must have that love and compassion for our fellow brothers and sisters.

The Chinese characters are UNITY (upper right), BRAVERY (upper left), TRUTH (lower right) and FAMILY (lower left).
