Description
This artwork is the illustration of a Chilean story entitled "Libelula Woman" by Noemi Carrasco
Dragonflies are represented in human culture on artefacts such as pottery, rock paintings, statues and Art Nouveau jewellery. They are used in traditional medicine in Japan and China, and caught for food in Indonesia. They are symbols of courage, strength, and happiness in Japan, but seen as sinister in European folklore. Images of dragonflies are common in Art Nouveau, especially in jewellery designs
Many Native American tribes consider dragonflies to be medicine animals that had special powers.
In both China and Japan, dragonflies have been used in traditional medicine. In Indonesia, adult dragonflies are caught on poles made sticky with birdlime, then fried in oil as a delicacy
