Baroque and the Moon

The roof of the baroque house echoes with the branches around. Behind the house lie the moon,

bats, and a crow, which add an element of mystery. I’ve always been fascinated by the baroque

style and/or vampires, so I set the house in a lonely forest.

Leaf Bridge

The design of the bridge is inspired by a leaf. This picture also shows the idea of an

environmental-conscious modern structure. I am not sure whether this bridge can withstand the

weight of the cars running on it, which I look forward to learning systematically at CCA.

Bark Cover

After I saw a stump by the street, I created this building with odd shapes of blocks covered by an

exterior material looking like tree barks, indicating the unbreakable bond between modern

architecture and the environment.

Functional Building

I got the idea from the Bruj Al Arab. This is designed to be an up-scale hotel on the beach, with

both an attractive and modern look and the ability to withstand the constant strong winds.

Functional Building

The one on the left is a simple mall demonstrating my perspective and control of lines. It is a six-

storey mall and one of its sides has a large billboard to attract more people to come to the mall. I

particularly like the building on the right for its elaborate layout. The building was first drawn by

pencil then by marker.

Fear and Loathing in the Subway

I get the inspiration from the game called Boost 2. A bottomless tunnel with cubes rolling in it and

a huge eyeball peaking inside. The gravity-defying man with a distorted shadow has nowhere to

hide from the eye.

Predator and Prey

The prototype of this strange spider is my globe. With furry legs and a constantly turning eyeball,

it turns into a dreadful predator. Humans being the hunted for once, I was hoping this drawing can

make people realize what a pressing issue animal protection really is.

Man and Umbrella

In fact, the umbrella here derived from my reading lamp. The umbrella squeezing through

represents the all-pervasive religious beliefs. The curly lines with little circle windows are meant

to be the inside of the little man’s brain. The drawing shows how religions “invade” our mind.

Park

It was my first marker drawing. Making full use of the odd-shaped spaces here and there in the

city helps us stay grateful for the truly invaluable things, including but not limited to fresh air,

sunshine, and green plants.

Reindeer with LV

Experimenting my time exposure technique, I held my camera on the tripod for the first 10

seconds, and then started to shake it to create this light effect.

Thank you for your time and

consideration.
