Decals and water colour painting by Ming Yan

"A flower grows, and blooms for a short time. However, the flower can also regrow, unlike people who cannot. Artists have a fleeting moment in time to capture the delicate beauty of the new bloom, similar in a way to French impressionists who aimed to capture moments in time, focusing on the use of colour and light to portray beauty

In China today many young people must leave their rural villages and move into the cities to make money. They often lead stressful lives, away from the beautiful nature in an unnatural environment. Big cities contain many products which are only used once, and then they become trash. I designed window decals that to remind people of what they have left behind, and perhaps lead them to ask what is the real meaning in their lives."
