““Indispensable things” illuminates the human being’s intense demand for technologies and commodities by using visual metaphors to express the dark side of our dependencies. This is a series of illustrations that reflects the morbid contemporary dependency issues of people in today's society. ”
Xinyun is a Toronto-based illustrator and a part-time art instructor. She graduated from OCAD U with a bachelor's degree in Illustration recently. Zhao creates surreal and fascinating illustrations based on personal experiences, ethnic culture as well as social phenomena. She enjoys creating her works by using traditional mediums and she is exploring further techniques of digital painting.
