“The Emotion Gardener” invites you to cultivate all feelings as rare botanical specimens, visualizing how emotions are harvested and repurposed to shape a resilient self.”

Illustrator and designer based in Toronto/Shanghai. My practice combines illustration, graphic design, and video editing to create visually engaging and concept-driven work.Recently, my work focuses on art as a form of emotional healing, exploring themes of inner states, identity, and personal experience. I often use symbolic imagery and expressive color to translate abstract emotions into visual narratives.
