Virgo Moon
Short Love based on the true story | Dual-Language Edition | ZINE
In the heart of Vancouver, Canada, a cold romance kindled a spark within me, guiding my hand towards crafting 14-page picture book, blending sketches into my artistic repertoire that traditionally sings with hues of paint.
East West Right and Left
Seasons of Abundance and Travel | Dual-Language Pocket Edition | ZINE
5 weeks stay in the southwest region of France, Eymet, with the family who practices permaculture and mindfulness. I had no money, but I had a one-way ticket to CDG. I wanted to participate in an artist residency, but had no credentials as an artist, and it was too late to apply. I decided to make my own artist residency experience using the Workaway program. This is an archive essay book of my exhibition East West Right and Left (Nov, 2023), but focused on my spiritual journey.
