From sacred mountain ranges and angels to biblical scenes and visions of paradise, themes of holiness and transcendence have always been central to the arts. This collage, "Auspicious Blessings," brings together these timeless elements of sacredness into the realm of digital art. Inspired by the sentiments behind the Chinese netizens' "Lucky Koi" meme and Thailand's "Mu-Te-Lu" iPhone wallpaper trend, "Auspicious Blessings" combines numerous auspicious symbols with a blend of logic and whimsy, aiming to enhance the image’s golden specks of blessing power.

With this artwork, I wish everyone good luck, blessings, and future prosperity.
