2025 is the Year of the Snake according to Chinese tradition, which symbolizes wisdom and transformation. So naturally, LEGO phenom Ian Hou has built this tantalizing cobra to denote the celebration of the Chinese New Year. I’m enamored over how the repetition of curving LEGO pieces adorning the snake’s front can seem like scales. The hood of the cobra, the snake’s stance, even the base are expertly crafted. Whether you feel that snakes are fascinating or they give you the heebie-jeebies, you have to admire the excellent build techniques at play here. I’m in the camp of snake fascination and I think that Ian agrees. You know how I know? Well, I hope that Google Lens didn’t lead me too far astray here but the large characters to the left state that all snakes are fine. Indeed, Ian.
