Leo G. - December 2020
Poster design for a competition held by UNI on the topic of mental health issues.
| Poster Design | Competition Piece |
Mental illness is a major social circumstance mentioned loudly in the past years. Society began to focus on this always-existing problem. This poster is created to raise self-awareness of mental health. The image represents the theme of neglected feelings are the roots of mental illnesses. The heart, the words, and the wounds. The emotions, the attacks, and the harms. People often decided to overlook their feelings for many reasons, their responsibilities, social expectations, the urge to avoid problems, etc. These abandoned feelings corrupt people's hearts. An unhealthy heart causes a higher margin of daily life risks. Life is about decisions, also about happiness. The goal is to remind people to listen to their hearts. Accept their emotions in all aspects. Reward their efforts and works. Lastly, fall in love with their authentic selves.

Since the beginning of time, mankind has been in constant pursuit of wisdom and knowledge. Man's desire to discover and thirst for knowledge continues to grow with the development of science and technology, and through the discovery of new concepts and conventions of time and space, we gradually have a deeper and better understanding of all that surrounds us.
Possessing the ability to think has created a unique position for mankind, a position that comes with a mission. As we explore uncharted territory, it is imperative to develop a greater appreciation for our environment and respect the laws of nature so we can better coexist peacefully within our environment. Through this piece, I'm hoping to express the importance of the pursuit of wisdom and knowledge, not for selfish gain, but for the betterment of our environment, so more individuals can be motivated to bring value to our existence.

Personal Project - Spring 2020
Mural design and making for Ten One Tea House in Rhode Island.
| Mural Art | Art Direction |
Ten One Tea House is a Taiwanese bubble tea brand that specializes in floral & herbal tea collections. The scope of work was to design and create this 14’-2” x 9’-2” mural in a week with a floral theme. I chose cherry blossom as the main element in this design for its well-known metaphors as spring. I painted with acrylic paints in a semi-traditional Chinese style to create an elegant vibe, which also reflected the native land of this brand.
