Inspired by the Love City series of cover stories for The New York Times, I embarked on this series when studied in the UK. I am using the illustration language to document the appearance of different lovers and the use of positive and negative shapes to punctuate the possibilities of love. The work extends visually as a tightly woven network and reflects my thoughts on relationships themselves.

After experiencing the pandemic, I wanted to focus on different individuals and environments, from other regions, with varying colors of skin, different orientations, and even across species, all connected by a common, or what could be interpreted as a 'love' force.

The series has been exhibited in various art spaces in the US and China and has been nominated for CA Illustration Award and ADC Silver Cube.
