Power of the Panda (Ancient Chinese Panda)

A vibrant panda rendered in bold enamel paint commands the canvas, its iconic black-and-white form elevated by an explosion of shimmering glitter that adds a festive, almost sacred luminosity to the composition. Pruitt channels the panda's deep roots in Chinese culture, merging pop sensibility with reverence for the animal's ancient symbolic power. The work balances playfulness and gravitas, transforming a beloved cultural icon into a dazzling object of contemporary veneration.
