In China, the red-crowned crane is often featured in myths and legends. In Taoism, the red-crowned crane is a symbol of longevity and immortality. In art and literature, immortals are often depicted riding on cranes. A mortal who attains immortality is similarly carried off by a crane. The red-crowned crane is also a symbol of nobility.
I attempt to use the technique of paper quilling to create a unique image of the red-crowned crane, trying to combine the ancient atmosphere together with modern art approach.
