Every day I wake up, I think about what to record today. I believe everything around me is interconnected. My work seeks to document these unique insights into the mundane. My Illustrations provides a magnifying glass to help me uncover the beauty of life.
GROW
‘Grow’ is an animation that tells the story of flowers facing various challenges during their growth, which impacts the tumultuous paths they take. Taking inspiration from the Greek myth ‘Icarus’, the project explores the ups and downs of creativity and our yearning for success. Though we cannot always control the outcome, we should always strive to enjoy the creative process in our journey towards achieving our goals.
LINE
There are many lines in the city, which can be subway lines, bus lines, and crisscross streets, long lines, of course, it may be the wool in the grandma’s hand. Lines build our city, and these lines are created by people, so lines have become a medium for
communication between people and the city. I made zine a subway ticket to show that the line is connected in the city no matter where people go.
