About Victory of Light

Victory of Light captures the fierce energy, vibrancy, and transformative power of the Year of the Fire Horse. The series was inspired by the explosion of light from sparklers and the classic children’s bead maze toy. The color palette mirrors the brilliant bursts of a handheld sparkler. Running horses and flames are hidden throughout to honor the Chinese zodiac while maintaining the playful, discovery-driven nature of the original toy.
