"Dragon Flower" by Fire Flower: Ava Newhouse, Kaia Basch-Dushag, Nora Winge.
Dragon Flower depicts a dragon eating it's own tail with a flower blooming in the center. There is a story about a snake eating its own tail after eating everything else around it but we decided our sculpture symbolized a circle of self care and when you feed yourself through consistent loving self care then well being blossoms in the center of your life.
