During AAPI Heritage Month, Ewkuks presents, a Korean-American artist, RFX1 painting a huge dragon for the only middle school in Koreatown, Los Angeles named after a Korean-American - Young Oak Kim at Young Oak Kim Academy (YOKA).
This mural symbolizes hope for Koreatown, especially during the last few years with violence against the AAPI community has been terrifyingly on the rise. In the mural, the dragon is depicted heading towards the light from the darkness, as the sun gives new life everyday, bringing with it a new beginning. The lotus flowers also bloom from the muddy waters when the sun is out, signifying a bright symbol of hope. The dragon is also believed to bring luck in Korean and many Asian cultures. The dragon will bring luck to the school and community as it watches the school and the Koreatown community from the highest wall on its building. On a more personal note, the artist, RFX1 was born on the year of the dragon, according to the Chinese Zodiac, making this wall exponentially fortified with luck and destiny.
🙏 to the Consulate General of Republic of Korea, LAUSD, and Young Oak Kim Academy (YOKA)
