morsure, An engraving on steel. A long dragon sleeps beneath an old stone bridge, curled along the dry bank beside a narrow river. Its body fits the sheltered space, with the head resting near one foreleg and the tail continuing visibly around a boulder. Two folded wings lie against its back, connected at believable shoulders, while the hind legs remain partly visible beneath the curve of the body. Above, a solitary traveler crosses the bridge, unaware of the creature below. The bridge has a single broad arch and a parapet that follows the roadway, with solid foundations on both banks. Reeds grow at the water's edge, and the river reflects a small part of the dragon's head. Evening light enters from beyond the bridge and leaves the sleeping creature in deep shelter. Keep the dragon immense but physically present, with its weight compressing the ground rather than floating above it. The scene should hold a secret shared with the viewer, balancing ordinary travel above with an extraordinary, peaceful presence below.
