Chinese New Year Dragon in Davao Shrine

by Alejandra Schwartz

Red and gold paper scales of a traditional dragon wind through a dense crowd beneath a shrine adorned with hanging lanterns. The cool stillness of predawn light skims the textured surface of the dragon's head from the side, highlighting the intricate brushwork and fabric seams. Dried leaves and dust motes hang suspended in the air, catching the soft morning glow against the deep shadows of the shrine interior. Foreground elements blur into soft circles of light, framing the vibrant colors of the dragon against the muted tones of the dry season morning. The dragon's long body stretches across the frame, its painted eyes fixed forward as handlers guide it through the narrow passage.
