Un-commissioned | New Talent

Why did you make this work:
My cousin is my hero. She is pretty, smart and cool. I have been to many adventures with her and every time I need help she is the first person I think of. She has introduced me to what the world is like and gives me the courage to go out there and explore. While she stays in our hometown, Inner Mongolia China, as an educator and teaches other kids how to dream.

How was the illustration used:
It was intended to use as a mural.

How did you make this work:
This work is a combination of photography, illustration and animation. I took a photo of a wall, painted the portrait and brought them together in photoshop. Working in a digital environment gave me the opportunity to do things impossible in traditional space. So I animated the image to create a mural that is moving.

Biography:
I am a Baltimore, Maryland based illustrator and street artist. Grew in beautiful Inner Mongolia China and heavily influenced by street culture, my practice comes from my passion for nature, the street and everything in between. I use visual tools, both traditional and experimental, to tell the stories of the underrepresented group and that we need to shed light on.
