Inspired by the legendary creatures described in the “Classic of Mountains and Seas,” this intricately镂ved beast features an alligator’s head and a duck’s body—its fiery red exterior reminiscent of molten lava. With its lattice-like structure that is both lightweight and translucent, it seems to have emerged from ancient totemic symbols as a digital being. Resting serenely on a desk, it not only showcases the artistic potential of 3D printing technology but also embodies the captivating interplay between myth and modern science, symbolizing the harmonious fusion of auspiciousness, strength, and creativity.
