Dragon, the Flow of Fire and Water
The creation of GymDreams8 was originally an exploration of self as well as an exploration of AI technologies. I wish to get back to it by creating a series of self portraits.
Often, people see avatars as their true selves. For me, my physical self is the avatar, where my real self is my mind that’s not visibly seen.
Who am I? I commissioned a drawing recently, and the artist also asked me the same question. I am a dragon who flow with fire and water, a duality of concepts that is easily explained by my zodiacs.
In the Chinese zodiac, I was born in the Year of Dragon — Fire Dragon, specifically.
In the Western zodiac, I was born with five planets in Libra — Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus, Pluto.
I could feel the air flowing through me as I wander the earth. I feel alive at night, where I enjoy lucid dreaming — a wonderful gift that I have enjoyed since I was young — the ability to create my own reality in my mind.
