    paper T-Mall Chengdu Outdoor Installation:

    Designed an ultra-wide panoramic illustration for an outdoor installation at Chengdu Taikoo Li. The artwork followed an “unboxed” gift-opening theme, depicting a protagonist opening a box that releases countless surprises in vivid, dreamlike primary colors.
    The illustration was produced through metal-plate etching and installed on the rooftop as a large-scale mirrored maze, creating an immersive and visually striking outdoor experience.
