My aesthetics is about daily life and combining fantasy with a few details. With an indifferent perspective, I'd like to show the brilliance of daily life.

Art for me is something that can brighten my daily life. It makes life better for me. Because there are no goals, it's painful yet fun. 350EB9E3-5186-4A9F-B5F8-D30F93DA4235
