Urban Plants IllustraledSHANGHAI INSTITUTE OF VISUAL ARTS

Modern life is fast-paced and many people are so busy working every day that they forget that the ultimate purpose of work is to enjoy life. Some studies have shown that plants can provide a natural atmosphere that helps relax the mind and body, reducing stress and anxiety. Contact with a green environment can lower heart rate and blood pressure and improve mental health. Therefore, I took plants in the city as a starting point to study the plants that white-collar workers in the city center would see on their way to work. And by designing four volumes of urban plant illustrations, maps, and tolex cards, I try to help these busy modern people slow down and observe the little beauties in life.
