Belonging , 2020

watercolor, colored pencil, Digital

A magic plush bunny is gifted to little May. This piece reflects the feeling of belonging in life we look for. We want warmth and care whether it be from others or even ourselves. Her yellow sweater signifies her happy, vibrant and optimistic character. The sweater is the signature of May. The swelling and lack of information in the background emphasizes this moment in feeling. Hugging the bunny represents a hug towards herself. An image of self-love and acceptance. And lastly, bunnies (or rabbits) represent good luck in China. They are included in the Chang'e legend that explains the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival.
