The artists say of the mural, via the DSAF websit, "The scene of this mural features other water life that are both auspicious in Asian symbolism and a reflection of the biodiversity of the area. It aims to reflect the interconnectedness of all things and invoke a meditation within nature.

As the year of the Dragon is upon us, we wanted to depict this indomitable and iconic creature. Being a recognizable symbol in both Eastern and Western folklore, its presence is powerful in bridging these two cultures and reflecting the diversity of its environment here in multi-cultural Darwin.

With Darwin's history with the Chinese community and Chanel's own heritage, we took inspiration from the Chinese Dragon or Loong, a living force that moves bodies of water.

Among other water animals, there have been suggestions that the mythical Dragon was inspired by a Chinese alligator so we took inspiration from Northern Territory Crocodiles, in the way it surfaces on the water, looking ancient, stoic, immortal."

The mural can be found in Garramilla Boulevard, near the corner of McMinn St
