Horses are a typical symbol of the North, a symbol of loyalty and devotion as well as a symbol of fortune and success. The image of a horse neighing loudly symbolizes pride, freedom and purity.
In Buddhism, horses are a symbol of strength and effort in practicing dharma. The neighing of a horse is also a symbol of the Buddha's power to awaken the sleepy mind in practicing the dharma.
In the spirit rites of the Vietnamese people in the Northern Delta, the horse has become a divine animal and an indispensable disciple in divine rituals.
"Time is like a shadow passing through a door"
I drew 8 horses in the spirit of "successful horse", in addition to the inherent solidarity and attachment (the 4th & 5th horses turn their heads against the herd), I also simulated a galloping horse with illusions of different facial angles and poses to properly express the spirit of agility and and transform from being the essence of the spiritual unconscious into the symbolic animal of the divine, and also the symbol of the personality and wisdom.
