Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Love can make the world better, humans can make it better together. The relationship between the world and people is invisible. The whole world needs each other to make a balance for the world. The illustrations is not only talk about the relationship between humans with humans but it is also related to nature. Just like the sentence talked about by Krishnamurti, "If you lose relationship with nature, you lose relationship with humanity". A lot of the people nowadays still don't have conscious about how important is the relationship between human and nature.
- Inspiration
- In my daily life inspired me to come out of this project, the relationship between humans, especially love. YOLO is what I keep in my mind, it helps me get through my life’s to-do list. I create my personal illustrations to encourage my audience to be themselves and to do what you want in your real mind.
