As part of the Band of Doodler’s mentorship programme, 52 Tales, I created this piece under the theme “Gambler’s Luck” and the traditional Chinese superstition of The Three Flames.
“The Chinese believe that there are three balls of flames on us; one on each shoulder and one on our head…However, if you hear a voice calling out to you from behind, do not turn your neck around as you will extinguish the flame.”
The artwork is meant to reflect the paranoia and fear this superstition represents and how it affects a gambler's psyche.
