— How would you describe the art that you create?
“I would describe my art as existing on the fine line between dream and reality. Each illustration carries an element of mystery, inviting the viewer to step into a fleeting moment of this strange world and ponder the story within it. I draw inspiration from Victorian fairytale art, traditional East Asian art, and contemporary manga and animation. ”
