Artist's comments

This is a story about social phobia. It shows how forced socialisation without a sense of boundaries can crush introverts into ‘sardines’. Faced with the endless crowds and lively parties, she will fall into a fish-like state of stagnation, and only when she returns home to ‘recharge’ her batteries will she be able to return to her adult self again.

 

 審査員評

The textures in the artwork are incredibly interesting, blending a sense of nostalgia with a modern touch. The use of negative space is perfectly balanced, adding to the overall composition. This thoughtful use of empty space allows the elements of the painting to breathe and enhances the visual impact. The combination of retro and contemporary styles creates a unique aesthetic that is both familiar and innovative.

The illustration series features an interesting metaphor for the experience of an introvert. The idea works well with the experimental look of the collage elements, various graphic materials, textures, and patterns.

The strong contrast of the girl to her surroundings is striking and relatable. The illustration is a powerful depiction of social phobia and the need for personal space. It conveys the importance of boundaries and self-care.

Rita Yuwei Li


Very good use of different perspectives and diagonals, to enhance the chaotic or uncomfortable feeling of the character and her social phobia. The aesthetics work very well, with deformations, careless proportions in bodies and elements, increasing the uncomfortable tension that benefits the concept of the story. In the color palette, the color red is repeated, as a violent color in a way, a color of excess where the character is affected and harmed, as if the red were the color of what ignites her phobia, and leads her to her blue emotions that overwhelm her. Very well done.

Lucas León


The entire series is based on an interesting concept. The texture of the collage work is excellent, and the compositions bring a fresh and engaging perspective to the storytelling.
