ONLY LOVE

Digital Mural Location: Pacific Center Mall (Robson & Granville st entrance)
Mural Map

“Only Love” is a mural that embodies the hope and positivity that I would like to bring to the Stop Asian hate conversation in Vancouver. In the design, I have included a Chinese Dragon which represents strength, power and health - blessings I wish for the Asian community and represents my own Chinese heritage and upbringing. This friendly dragon is breathing out a stream of abundant flowers instead of its natural defense to spew destructive fire and cause damage, metaphorically spreading love instead of hate. The flowers chosen are those recognizable in Asian culture, hibiscus, cherry blossoms, peonies, magnolias - representing the diversity of the Asian community in Vancouver. The petals give movement and flow, symbolizing the spread of this positive message - to inspire change within ourselves and hope that when faced with racism, we collectively choose to respond with love, because only love can drive out hate.
