DESCRIPTION
"Dragon" is a stunning sculpture made by French sculptor Lucile Coste.
 
"Dragon is the woman inside me who looks at the ones she loves and feels the sacred urge to care for them. 
 
Being fearless about how I feel for my favorites and concerned about how I can be as accurate as possible in the way of giving love and safe space to them is, to me, like the Dragon who boldly spits his flames and at the same time, who must take special care of its magnificent and fragile eggs. 
 
More literally, it is the fire in me revolted against authors of child crime, women crime, and human crime."
