Memories of Qilin #576

Emily Xie

Series of 1024 artworks (1/1 of 1024)

Description: Memories of Qilin is a code-based generative art project inspired by traditional East Asian art. It channels the sense of movement and fluidity found in the region's classical paintings, while drawing from the colors, patterns, and forms of woodblock. Specifically, the project explores the concept of folklore, evoking the mythological imagery of dragons, phoenixes, flowers, and mountains. The title references a fabled chimerical beast within East Asian mythology that represents prosperity and luck.
