Why did you make this work:
Through the long period of lockdown in London, I had a more intimate connection with my home space.I am both a witness and a bystander, experiencing and observing the space.Inspired by phenomenology and semiology of lived experience in architectural places,I realised that there are far more meanings within the home space.I visualised different stories by recording dialogues with my flatmate.

How was the illustration used:
These works are mainly used for reading, and thinking about more connections between people and our daily living space. Also as records and memories of the last two pandemic years.

I made these works by using acrylic, colour pencil, collage, and Procreate.
