Mural for Taiwan (detail)
© 2000, Michael O'Rourke

On the other side of the world from Taiwan, a busy street scene from New York City's Chinatown, linking the Chinese of Taiwan with those of America. The dispersal of cultures, the way cultures move, influence each other, and change. Our increasingly small planet. The dragon figure to the left is an ornamental detail from an ancient military fort in southern Taiwan.
