FROM CHENGDU, SICHUAN, AN ILLUSTRATOR/DESIGNER WHO USES PAINTING AS A WAY TO ENJOY THE INNER UNIVERSE—DISCOVERING LIFE, DRAWING ENERGY FROM NATURE, AND GRADUALLY FINDING INNER PEACE.

Much of the work is inspired by books, films, and travel photography. The Daoist idea of “being and non-being,” along with shifts in perspective, helps me step away from the anxieties I’ve built for myself. I also hope my art can bring a sense of quiet for people today—guiding them inward, encouraging them to experience life without fear of others’ words. Each of us carries a most unique and irreplaceable “core.”
