About People
Most of my artwork, there are people inside it because I am eternally curious about the world and the society people create. On the one hand, I like to observe all the phonomenon I saw on the street or during the commute time. On the other hand, I like to see movies, stage shows, books and concerts. These are all the things about people talking or acting in life which gave me inspirations.

Who is taking care of the Earth? Nowadays, to get along well with our dear planet is a big issue. Air pollution is the main environmental problem in Taiwan. Taiwan is known for the highest density of scootors in the world. Therefore, I created the illustration "How to perfectly live with air pollution". In addition, after watching the documentary film "Before the Flood", I focus on following these issues and tried to create more illustration about them.

Picture book - Shan Shan Shuo
"Shan Shan Shuo" is my first picture book made by myself. "shan" means mountain and "shuo" means talk in Chinese. It talks about an island who found a mysterious map in his head. He is also so curious about the world that he never seen before, so he started a journey following the map. During the adventure, he met different kind of islands which represent some type of people or environment in the world nowadays.

on-going final project in the last year of bachelor. Shezidao is a little peninsula connected with Taipei ciy, the almost undeveloped, such as lack of sewerage system. Through field research and listening the sounds of the o make a future city blueprint.

Imagination is the best make-up
The photo below is the original appearance of my illustration. It is a messy local restaurant near two rivers in Taipei which should be a perfect spot for beautiful views. Therefore, I tried to create a new image of it. I also mixed the materials like the iron sheet and trees in the photo with my illusrtaion to remain the original part.

Live is Life
Live is Life is a song of OPUS in 1985. I knew it because of the work camp in France two years ago. At that time, my camp leader love this song and kept playing it repeatly so that all of us in the camp can sing it. After that, when I listen to this song, the whole memories I made with my friends from different countries will come out. I started to love this song and taste the meaning of the lyrics. When I have a public lecture for sharing my experience in volunteer travelling, "Live is Life" became my main idea going through the lecture. So I transformed the auditory memory into visual one.
When we all give the power We all give the best Every minute of an hour Don't think about the rest And you all get the power You all get the best When everyone gets everything And every song everybody sings Life is life (nanananana) Life is life (nanananana) Life is life (nanananana)
my diary of vounteer travelling in France 12
I am from Taiwan ! When I went abroad, some people still know nothing about Taiwan,or even mixed it with Thailand. Therefore, I made postcards which are wonderful handmade gifts can not only introduce my home country, but also communicate with people I meet during the trip. I have once occasionally chatted with an old Norwegian couple in Hyde Park just because I helped them to take photos. Due to the postcard, they asked me about Taiwan whether is its politics or culture. We had a lovely conversation that we all know more about each other's country.

Christmas is a hoilday for appreciating Christmas is not a traditional hoilday in Taiwan, but I still like to celebrate it by sending cards designing by myself . this hoilday is a perfect "excuse"to express love or appreciation to families or friends haven't seen for a long time.

People who always bring the warm not all live with the sunshine
After the volunteer trip in Cambodia, one of my friends told me that I can show a ray of sunshine, kindness and passion even though I thought myself is pessimistic, fragile and stubborn. Maybe because I saw lot of people in Cambodi realizing how tough life is, they still know how to share the warmest part in their little heart. Why shouldn't I?
15
You are my graffer
Not same as lots of peole, I don't like to be shine like a star on the stage. But maybe same as some people, I am always the competent audience who is satisfied with staring the people on the stage. I also work hard learning to be a good graffer of others to shine their lives. I will got the power at the same time. For me, this is a way to shine my life.

Visual Design of VYA Travel and Volunteer fair in 2015
From volunteer to social entrepreneurs is the core idea of the event. VYA encourages people made doing voluntary work be as a part of life. It can be an interest like playing volleyball or a profession like being a athlete. For me, the devotion and feedback of being volunteer is infinite. It is not only about building a shelter or teaching English, it is about the attachment between people. In addition, the characteristic of the best volunteer should be optimistic and warm, so orange is the color fit like a glove made me complete the design work.

Bouquet Packaging Design Bouquet is a suitable gift for all different festivals or anniversaries. However, most of the packages are hard to carry or preserve. That's why I thought of designing in this shape. Furthermore, people can choose the boy package or the girl one depending on who you want to give the bouquet. made in 2016

Project Logo Design "Everyone can be anthropologist."
This is a project create by me and my friend. The concept came from a book"In The Metro" by Marc AugĂŠ, a French anthropologist. He takes readers below Paris in a work that is both an ethnography of the city and a personal narrative. It inspired us that we also have a close connection with metro or buses in Taipei. Therefore, we created both article and illustration throught our observation in daily life.
