Settled in Taiwan as an independent illustrator. The source of inspiration and observation of life, the reflection and stimulation of life to myself. As a Chinese who is a new resident in Taiwan, she uses the first-person perspective to observe and experience the current society. Under the struggle of ambivalence, various daydreams appear, and the interlacing of imagination and reality appears to be cute at first glance. Face it positively, but It also hides a black and evil side. So I summarise those cute but obscure visual languages to tell the connection and relief between this society's operation and individuals' psychological state.

Communication is something that needs to be practiced as a human being. As a new resident in Taiwan, I was lost in using language to communicate in the current society. So I began to think about how to use non-verbal communication to express the subconscious vocabulary in my brain, and comics are my best interpretation. I draw a single black-and-white cartoon similar to a political cartoon, and "communicate" through image language and text--express my feelings about life, question friendship, and observe the absurdity that is happening in this society, using my own visual language to leave traces, so that readers can watch the world I manage with a knowing smile.
