Tell us about your aesthetic.I am particular about one original picture, so it takes time to produce. The sea begins with a drop of water, the forest begins with a tree, and the blue sky and clear air are born. Feeling the changing seasons, feeling the colors, feeling the wind, feeling the clouds, It depicts a dreaming world where nature, the city and people are in harmony. ä¸ćăŽĺçťăŤăă ăăŁăŚć¸ăăŚăăžăăă ăăĺśä˝ăŤćéăăăăăžăă ä¸ćť´ăŽć°´ăă澡ăĺ§ăžăăä¸ćŹăŽć¨ăă棎ăĺ§ăžăăéă犺ă¨ćžăă 犺ć°ăçăžăăă 秝ăăăĺŁçŻăč˛ăćăă風ăćăăé˛ăćăă čŞçśă¨čĄă¨äşşă調ĺăă夢éăä¸çăćăăŚăăžăă3.
