The composition is structured around 8, a symbol of prosperity in China. Beyond the lavish colors and details, the wealth is seeing life from many views. Rich layers capture the feeling of being opened to a new world. 

Sideways, 8 symbolizes infinity. The painting likewise flows continuously: Night and day; fire and water; life and death. Nothing is lost in transition, only transformed. Infinite. Similarly, we sacrifice nothing when we see from a different view; there is always room for more. By accepting multiple perspectives we enrich our lives with the ability for more connections. 

When I began learning digital art I wondered if the meaningfulness of my physical art would translate when colors could be changed with a few clicks. This piece challenged me to see how digital tools could augment my art. Instead of a shortcut, digital art is a vehicle to travel further; expanding my art and communication skills to connect with more people.  By accepting digital art I embrace infinity.
