ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Artist Le Hien Minh's work, "Invisible Dragon," skillfully constructs a symbolic world through a subtle dialogue between object and shadow. Against a white wall, two sculpted structures made from Do paper emerge in a natural pale beige hue, their flowing lines evoking a sense of ancient organic existence. From hands resembling lotus buds, red shoots burst forth like sacred flames or dragon claws, carrying primal energy. The light casts ethereal shadows, stretching and gracefully across the wall, hinting at the dragon's form in legend. These "shadows" breathe life into "Invisible Dragon," transforming non-existence into a powerful, haunting presence. Le Hien Minh's skillful use of traditional Do paper, with its exceptional durability and light-interaction capabilities, creates a surface rich in emotion and depth, affirming the artist's talent in conveying the mystical message of the dragon symbol in Vietnamese culture.
