The Protagonist 主人公系列
This series was developed as part of my MFA illustration project at the University of Manitoba. Through a combination of large-scale watercolor and acrylic paintings, the works explore themes of memory construction and the fragmentation of personal identity. 本系列是我在马尼托巴大学攻读艺术硕士期间的小说插图创作项目。作品涵盖大尺幅的水彩与丙烯绘画，围绕“个人记忆的建构”与“身份的断裂”这两个核心主题展开。Rather than presenting a linear narrative, the images reflect a process of visual memory reconstruction—fragmented, elusive, and repeatedly reshaped through recollection. These works do not aim to represent memory as fact, but instead as something uncertain, layered, and subjectively intensified through the act of remembering. 图像并不试图构建连贯的叙事，而是呈现出一种碎片化、若即若离的视觉记忆重构过程。作品所追寻的记忆，并非真实的再现，而是模糊的、层叠的，随着一次次回忆不断被强化的自我建构。In this way, the protagonist is never fixed; identity becomes a site of negotiation between the remembered self and the imagined one. 因此，在作品中，“主人公”始终处于变动之中。身份不再是一个稳定的存在，而是记忆中的自我与想象中的自我之间持续协商的结果。
Surrealist Art Series 超现实主义系列
This series brings together multiple visual languages to present my surrealist tendencies and a painting style that is both dense and enigmatic. Each work reflects a continued exploration of one central concern: the alienation of the human condition and its poetic, abstract expression. 本系列融合了多种绘画语言，呈现出我在创作中的超现实主义倾向，以及厚重而神秘的绘画风格。所有作品都围绕同一个核心议题展开：人的异化，以及这种状态的诗意性与抽象化表达。
By borrowing elements from various sources—figures, symbols, fragments of memory—I seek to construct a new visual experience. The shifting forms and layered compositions are not meant to explain, but to evoke a sense of ambiguity, emotion, and symbolic resonance. 我从不同来源中借用元素——人物、符号、记忆的片段——试图建构一种全新的视觉感受。作品中流动的形态与层叠的构图，并非为了传达明确的意义，而是唤起模糊、情感与象征之间的共鸣。

Dry Brush Watercolor Series 干笔水彩系列
This series explores the expressive potential of dry brush watercolor techniques on medium-rough watercolor paper. By using a fine liner brush to apply pigment in repeated layers, I emulate the layered, opaque quality of tempera painting—an ancient technique known for its precision and permanence. The slow, deliberate buildup of color creates a surface that feels both quiet and dense, echoing the silent presence of the objects portrayed. 本系列尝试在中粗水彩纸上探索干笔水彩技法的表现力。通过使用勾线笔反复叠加颜料，我模拟出坦培拉绘画层层覆盖、接近不透明的视觉质感。这种古老技法以其精准与持久性著称，我借此让画面呈现出一种既安静又厚重的感受，回应静物本身所具有的沉默气质。
The choice of still life as a subject matter is intentional—it is a genre traditionally associated with observation, contemplation, and symbolic meaning. By engaging in a slow, process-heavy technique, I invite viewers to slow down as well, to become more conscious of their own act of looking. In this way, the series becomes not only a study of form and material, but also a reflection on the cultural and perceptual frames through which we view images and objects. 选择静物作为题材是经过深思熟虑的——它是一种与“观察”、“凝视”与“象征意义”密切相关的传统绘画类型。通过这种缓慢而繁复的技法，我也希望观者放慢观看节奏，更加意识到自身的观看行为。因此，这个系列不仅是对形式与媒材的研究，也是对观看本身、以及观看背后的文化与认知机制的反思。

Lily Flower Series 百合系列
This series marks a period of focused exploration into the cultural symbolism and metaphorical meanings of lilies, alongside reflections on the tension between industrialization and the natural world. The lily, as a recurring motif, serves both as a personal emblem and a broader visual code that bridges beauty, fragility, ritual, and resistance. 本系列源于我对百合花文化象征与隐喻意义的长期关注，同时也是对自然与工业之间张力的艺术回应。百合这一反复出现的母题，既是一种私人性的象征，也是一种连接美感、脆弱、仪式与抵抗的视觉符号。Visually, the works borrow from the aesthetic ideals of William Morris—his intricate patterns, decorative richness, and fusion of art and nature. Through these influences, I aim to construct a visual language that is both contemplative and ornate, one that invites the viewer to linger on surface and meaning alike. 在绘画语言上，我借鉴了威廉·莫里斯的美学理念，包括他对图案的精致处理、装饰性的丰富表达，以及对自然与艺术融合的追求。在这些影响下，我试图建构一种既具沉思性又富于装饰性的视觉语言，引导观者在图像的表层与内涵之间游移。
Still Life Painting Series 静物写生系列
This series is part of my ongoing exploration into art as a form of healing, and watercolor as a way of living. Through the quiet observation of everyday objects, I engage with painting as a meditative act—one that reconnects the hand, the eye, and the inner self. 本系列是我关于艺术疗愈的实验，同时也是对“水彩作为一种生活方式”的持续探索。通过对日常物件的静静凝视，我将绘画视为一种冥想般的实践，重新连接手、眼与内心。I am particularly drawn to the material beauty of watercolor—its transparency, fluidity, and sensitivity to gesture. Each piece seeks a balance between decorative naturalism and expressive brushwork, inviting viewers into a gentle, attentive space of seeing. 我尤其着迷于水彩材料本身的质感之美：透明、流动，对笔触高度敏感。每一幅作品都在装饰性的自然之美与笔法的表现力之间寻找平衡，试图唤起一种温和而专注的观看状态。
Ink drawing 黑白插画
This series is a visual construction of imagination—simple, ambiguous, and evocative. Using spontaneous ink lines and minimal elements, each piece echoes the themes of the novel it relates to, mimicking the fragmented and elusive quality of memory. 本系列是对想象力的视觉建构——简约而模糊，带有暗示性。通过随性的墨线与极简的元素，每一幅作品都呼应着小说中的主题，模拟记忆那种片段化与难以捉摸的特性。Rather than offering clear narratives, the drawings invite viewers into an open space of interpretation, where memory and fiction blur into each other. 作品并不提供明确的叙事，而是邀请观者进入一个开放的解读空间，在那里，记忆与虚构相互交融。
