This piece explores the intersection of Filipino Chinese mythology and Lunar New Year traditions, with me, Nathalie De Los Santos, reflecting on the importance of reclaiming our folklore and personal history. Romeo Reyes’ art features a striking snake intertwined with soft peonies, adorned with Filipino tattoo patterns symbolizing our ancestral connection, blending the two cultures beautifully.

Glide like a dragon, thrive like a forest. Happy new year—may all your loved ones be deeply nourished! This lunar new year, we welcome the wood dragon and its offerings of creativity, exuberance, triumph, and wit.
We include a digital 門聯 (mùhn lyùhn) to hang on doors and walls as words of blessing. This year, it reads, 欣欣向龍 (translation: to thrive and flourish). Print it out and hang it to receive the good luck and prosperity of the dragon to your home for the new lunar year. When you do, tag us @huafoundation to show us where you’ve hung yours!
