I did a set of illustrations for the Modern Weekly magazine Beauty category. It’s a unique feature of old Shanghai’s culture and icons, awakening my memory of the first trip to Shanghai when I was a child. I still remember how I described this city in my diary, and I want to share it visually by this chance.

Modern Weekly magazine commissioned me to illustrate a city map for the Jingdezhen edition.

As well known, Jingdezhen city is famous for porcelain businesses and industry, so I want to draw this city map following the traditional format of design patterns on celadon, including export porcelain. To highlight the river across the city, I took the art form of gold restoration, bonding broken porcelain tiles with melted gold. Thus, the bold lines on the map are the shape of the river.

I created an apartment to express my understanding of human love at my exchange class last year, made up of different people who are doing their own things in the home. It’s a little bit ironic to watch it during this dark time because most of us have to stay home now for quarantine but love is shining as always.

It's a commissioned work from Penguins Random house, creating a series of illustrations for the 2022 calendar based on famous novels and the writer's hometown around the world. My part is about Chinese writer Lu Xun and his hometown in Shaoxing, a city full of rivers and traditional gardens.

I want to paint traditional Chinese elements in a fusion way, combining Chinese painting's construction and content with bright color and simple texture, to portray a Chinese fairyland.
