Karan Kwok of 5U designed her piece “Descent of the Azure Dragon” taking reference from <<春夜宴桃李園>>, <<高山流水>> and <<龍騰虎躍>> in the "Costume through Chinese Arts" Design Competition organized by the EDB and has obtained Commendable Award. In her artist statement, she wrote:

The order of the Chinese zodiac came from animals’ ranking in a race. As a symbol of supreme power, everyone thought the dragon would place first, but he was placed fifth as he stopped to make rain for a village plagued by drought. Self-sacrifice has always been an emphasis of Chinese culture, placing family, community, and the nation above the individual. The Spring Festival encapsulates the Chinese spirit of unity. Marking the start of spring and New Year, all rush home for family reunion, returning to one’s roots. Taking the theme of the lively dragon and peaceful rain from the two musical pieces, I was further reminded of our roots as an agricultural nation, and of the Dragon Dance during the Spring Festival. I juxtaposed the rapid movement of the Dragon Dance with the gentleness of a spring shower by using vibrant swirling patterns with the soft silhouette of traditional Hanfu, the flowing lines on the skirt referencing the rice paddy terraces of China. “When you drink water, think of the source’ – the spirit of spring reminds us to reconnect with out culture. When QingLong, the Azure Dragon of spring brings rain to nourish the land, let’s remember our roots.

Her work successfully delivers a positive meaning and serves as a symbol of our cultural virtue. Karan has obtained a certificate on the 30 November at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre and her work was exhibited on 29 and 30 November on the 4/F of Cultural Centre. Congratulations Karan!
