Unrealized Shadows

22"x15"

Watercolor, Oil Pastel, Colored Pencil on Paper

My parents longed for a son, yet fate made me their daughter. Under the shadow of China's one-child policy, they were denied the chance for more children. At times, I carry a weighty guilt, as if my existence snuffed out the possibility of a younger brother. This artwork captures the uncharted paths my family could never tread. Vibrant hues and playful elements infuse the piece with childlike innocence, starkly juxtaposed against the imagery of violence. It serves as a reflection on the profound effects of the One Child Policy on families and the fabric of society.

Daily Disposable Memories

31.5"x24"

Acrylic on Canvas

Every day, as I remove my disposable contact lenses, it feels as though all the sights of the day are captured within them, then irretrievably gone. Thus, the hand in the image can never truly breach the mirror's boundary to reconnect with those lenses. Yet, there's a comforting thought in knowing these memories, whether solid or fleeting, are dispersed, lingering in a realm beyond time and space.

Train

15"x10.5"

Collage

I envisioned a train journeying through the window of my bedroom in my dream. To me, windows have always acted as gateways, allowing ideas to flow freely in and out. I gather fragments from these fleeting ideas, assembling them into a collage. This creation delves into my personal connection with creativity, which sweeps through like a train, leaving behind scraps for me to collect and piece together.
