At first, this shape of inverted triangular accurred to me liked a kind of urge we always flet when we were young and simple.

This shape of the pendant is a symbol of the youth with independence and individuality.

I get inspiration from the traditional dresses and headdresses of Chinese minorities like the serried dots and the traditional colors matching. I mixed some mental colors to add some national flavor.

Tools: Canvas, Brushes, Acrylic paint
