Hannya & Snake

The Hannya expresses deep emotion and transformation, while the snake represents renewal, wisdom, and protection from misfortune. Flowing together through waves and motion, the design explores the balance between fear and understanding, rendered in timeless black and grey to highlight form and movement.
