About the artwork

Exuding a sense of contentment and ebullience, this playful piece by Xie Ai Ge features a dynamic composition, with a man relaxing on the back of a unicorn, while the unicorn is portrayed in motion, with its fore legs up in the air. The man is unfazed by the unicorn and instead, embraces the precarious position of the unicorn, representing the need to be flexible in life, to follow the flow of fate, rather than control it, an attitude the artist embraces in her personal life.
