Many different artists were commissioned to create a piece for the zodiac celebration and it is intriguing to see all the different interpretations of snakes and their [symbolic meanings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-x-kaws). Snakes are often seen as deadly and terrifying creatures, yet in Chinese tradition, it is wished that the snake will bring prosperity and happiness.
