Editor: So, here we have Joseph Domjan's "Moon Dragon." It's a print, dimensions roughly 473 x 362 mm. The colors are wild, the patterns even wilder. Honestly, it feels like looking into a kaleidoscope! What do you make of it? Curator: It's an intriguing dance between the real and the imagined, isn’t it? The way the colors bleed together, like fading memories of a vibrant dream. Look at those intricate symbols! Do you think they represent personal mythology? Perhaps this dragon isn't a beast, but a feeling, a state of mind. Editor: A feeling? I hadn't thought of it that way. I guess I was too caught up in trying to decode the symbols. Curator: Sometimes, dear, art isn't about decoding, but feeling the rhythm of its heartbeat. It’s not about what the artist saw, but what they felt, and what *we* feel in turn. Editor: That's a helpful distinction, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
