White Tārā is regarded as the pure manifestation of Avalokiteśvara’s compassion, symbolizing longevity, protection, and serene benevolence. During meditative visualization, the artist received inspiration and infused the scene with the purity, early wisdom, and swift realization associated with the Dragon Girl from the Lotus Sūtra.

The Dragon Girl represents youthful clarity and instantaneous awakening, while White Tārā radiates calm compassion and long-life blessings.
