One of my latest projects envisages the myth/icon of the Dacian draco - the legendary war standard of the ancient and fierce Dacians that was part wolf part snake. It was in fact described as something like a windsock, so that when the air passed through it it would make a terrible noise that was said to frighten the enemies. Nowadays it has become the symbol of patriotism and even nationalism, being turned into a modern icon. My project both admires the longevity of the motif and the ingenuity of its depictions throughout the ages.
