This mural-style illustration retells a Far Eastern folklore in reverse. A dragon girl falls for a prince, only to be abandoned when he discovers her true nature. Unlike traditional tales where men pursue dragon yokai for their noble lineage, this story features a prince—who has no need to climb the social ladder—discarding her, revealing deep-rooted societal prejudice. Different parts of the illustration reflect stages of her heartbreak, growth, and transformation, set in a dreamlike landscape that blends fantasy, surrealism, and traditional Asian aesthetics.
