Lantern Festival
The creation centers around "lights and reunion," featuring a scene with nighttime courtyards, lanterns, a full moon, and tranquil human interactions, avoiding the noisy expressions of traditional temple fairs, and emphasizing the warmth and hope brought by light and shadow. The work presents a restrained and elegant visual language to showcase the connection between people and the festival, and people and nature, reflecting the cultural connotations of the Lantern Festival which symbolize reunion, brightness, and good wishes.
