That Dragon Milton Art Work

This powerful 2.0' x 2.5' piece, titled That Dragon Milton, was created in response to the devastation caused when Hurricane Milton destroyed the artist’s neighborhood. The work depicts Milton as an Arashi Ryū—a “Storm Dragon” in Japanese tradition—representing tsunami- and typhoon-like spirits. In Japanese symbolism, these forces of nature are often seen as both destructive and transformative: while they can bring great loss, they also become catalysts for renewal. This duality is reflected in the piece, honoring how communities come together in the aftermath of disaster—rebuilding, healing, and emerging stronger than before.
