EGO

The Ego series was illustrated from February 8, 2021, to March 23, 2021, and took about 53 hours in total. The inspiration came one day after a phone call with my parents. The conversation is terrible, and I realized some problems of myself. I went abroad to study alone while London was being in the T4 blockade for a long time due to the epidemic. I made many decisions by myself. I felt I became paranoid and stubborn during this period of time and fell apart when I talked with others. But when I realized this problem, I thought I was not good enough and inferiority generated. I think the change of mind when one is alone is a cycle with no fixed end. To me, it's a perception that starts from an integrated point of view, splintered into many spectator perspectives, and then integrated into a whole. I set a little girl living alone in the forest, and one day the girl went out and met a kitten. She took the cat with her and back home. Day by day, more and more cats found the girl, and she was immersed in the huge group. Finally, all the cats gathered and transformed into a big cat. The whole background, forest, and river are the embodiment of the mind’s inner space, a process from one to many and then to the whole. In this series, I rely on the gradual transition from yellow and orange to blue, the change of cactus blossom indicates the development of the story, the change of time.
