New Year’s Princess

‘During the Chinese New Year celebrations, I primarily wanted to capture the dragon dance. Yet, during the night festives, I noticed an even more beautiful gem - a young girl bathed in light, her hair adorned with red and gold ornaments. The glow framed her like a timeless portrait - youth, tradition, and hope entwined in a fleeting, magical moment.
