who's brain eater?

From the age of five, I started to learn calligraphy and traditional Chinese art, from my grandfather, who was a calligraphy professor.

Impressionism inspired me to further enhance the atmosphere of the overall painting based on the discussion of color and light and to further portray the psychology of the characters. In my work, the appearance of the characters in Who's Brain Eater? carries a sense of speculation and tension. Merely using traditional Chinese painting to show characters on rice paper with a brush is not enough to highlight such a sense of tension and suspicion. I used traditional Chinese painting language to talk about the panic caused by COVID-19, especially this group of unique ethnic groups, the source of the fear of Asians, and how to deal with it.

In addition, some ghost stories from the ancient China-Song Dynasty are also interspersed with stories about cannibalism.
