Hi! I’m a Chinese female artist with an architecture background, now diving into visual arts. I’m obsessed with grids, spaces, and the magic of narrative. My work explores how these elements—and life itself—shape us. Expect thoughtful stories with a side of structure (literally)!
METANOIA is a semi-autobiographical graphic novel set in the high-pressure educational environment of Beijing, China, exploring adolescent experiences across junior high and high school. The story is inspired by my own journey, focusing on a sapphic relationship within girls’ friend circles, and delving into the emotional struggles, confusion, and growth faced by the main character under societal expectations.
Through delicate illustrations, I aim to convey the subtle, complex emotions that words cannot fully express, offering a glimpse into the inner world of a teenage girl. I also employ spatial techniques to hint at underlying emotions, hoping to resonate with readers of all ages, providing empathy and inspiration.
Due to time constraints, I have completed only the initial chapters and key pages for this exhibition. The works will be showcased in two formats: fragmented emotional memories in individual books and an incomplete graphic novel with a linear narrative. I plan to continue expanding this project into a more comprehensive book and create a series exploring different characters' perspectives.
