In the seemingly repetitive rhythm of daily life, emotions are never fixed—they are fluid, shifting, and ever-changing, like a malleable material that takes on different forms each day, shaped by the smallest events. They can be as light as a balloon, as heavy as a stone, as warm as soft fur, or as chaotic as a crumpled piece of paper. Yet no matter their form, with the arrival of a new day, they reshape and transform, quietly flowing, surging, and molding themselves anew within the framework of what appears unchanged. Though fleeting, these emotions profoundly shape our perception, making each seemingly identical day subtly different.

In this piece, I continue to use the twelve zodiac animals as a tangible representation of the element of "time." I distill my original 3D zodiac designs into 2D silhouettes and shapes from different angles, symbolizing the element of "daily life." Through the pencil drawing enamel technique, I add hand-drawn details to these forms, giving them expressions of cuteness, curiosity, or a dazed look, allowing them to serve as carriers of emotion within the work.
“Daily Routine” reflects my perception of daily life and a record of my inner world. Even in what may seem like monotonous days, each one remains unique, as our emotions continuously sculpt new experiences, turning the ordinary into something vivid and real.
