Taiwan Fruit Plate (work in progress)

2024 - ongoing

Drawings, Paintings, Writings

In Taiwanese culture, cuteness is not just an aesthetic—it's a polite act of expressing warmth, humility, and care. Women, in particular, often communicate with softness and gentle affection, using cute language and gestures to create a welcoming atmosphere. This cultural trait is closely tied to gestures of hospitality, such as giving fruit plates as gifts to welcome others into one’s home. The fruit plate symbolizes not only generosity but also respect and a deep sense of community.

Through drawing, digital art, and oil painting, I seek to create my version of the Taiwanese fruit plate, welcoming viewers to taste the deeper meaning behind the "cute" culture.
