Where life once gathered
OCIYAC2025JP00498
My artwork depicts a simple yet meaningful market scene, emphasizing its role as more than just a place to buy fresh produce. Markets are vibrant hubs of social interaction, where diverse people come together, fostering community and connection. However, this liveliness is fading as technology replaces such spaces with online shopping. To capture this contrast, I used a greyscale color scheme for the surroundings while coloring the people, symbolizing how human presence brings life and energy to the market. Through this piece, I aim to evoke nostalgia for simpler times, reminding us of the irreplaceable value of human connection in our increasingly digital world.

Hortus Paradisi The Garden of Paradise
OCIYAC2025JP00782
Deep within human psyche lies an unconscious yearning to break free from the confines of the modern urban environment and reconnect with the serenity and harmony of the natural world.
Amongst the throng stands the colossal Tree of Life, its immense, sturdy trunk rising majestically from the middle of a tranquil pond. Vast branches embrace the heavens, their elongated appendages enveloping and interwoven, creating a canopy that extends to the edges of the world. Green vines twist and weave their way through the branches, linking together an array of animals both small and grand, symbolizing the intricate web of nature’s interconnectedness.
Birds flutter beside butterflies, while giraffes linger nearby, their reflections rippling in the pond. Vibrant colors highlight the beauty we often overlook, urging us to pause and appreciate life’s delicate balance.
Nature is not a collection of isolated parts but a living, breathing system where every element plays a role. It’s a reminder of how deeply interwoven life is—trees, animals, and even humans—and how important it is to cherish and protect this unity. We should stop every now and then, stepping away from the distractions of modern life, to admire and reconnect with the world around us.

重塑的光
OCIYAC2025JP00537
结合“启示与阴影”主题，作品通过对光影的表现，展现现代社会中个体的心理挣扎与希望。画面中，跪地抱头的黑色剪影象征被社会压力压垮的群体，而白色人物象征内心的救赎与新生。通过光与影的对比，揭示个人从崩溃到成长的过程，传递情感蜕变的力量。

雨后的城市夜景Night view of the city after rain
OCIYAC2025JP00073
雨后的城市，洗掉了白天的喧嚣和繁华，城市仿佛睡着了般安静，远处的高楼变得模糊，地面变得五彩斑斓，隐隐约约倒影出汽车和灯光，远处的桥洞和驶来的汽车，给黑夜增加了温暖的色彩。 The city after the rain has washed away the hustle and bustle of the day, and is as quiet as if it has fallen asleep. The distant high-rise buildings become blurred, the ground becomes colorful, and cars and lights are faintly reflected. The distant bridge openings and cars coming in add warm colors to the night.

sunset
OCIYAC2025JP00610
The shock of the moment is always easy to disappear, and even if I see that kind of landscape again, I don’t have any special feeling.For me, beautiful scenery are not only figurative images, but also the abstract impression and shock they give me.
I hope that I can preserve the flowing beauty of the landscape by combining the figurative and the abstract.

Playing together
OCIYAC2025JP00557
My art is about a girl playing together in a room with her dog and her little brother. It is a calm moment, she is reading a book but keeps getting distracted by her dog’s licks. Scattered around the room are other things she and her little brother play with. I used bright colors to resemble the happiness and warmth they feel from being together.

Between Decay and Vitality
OCIYAC2025JP00541
Between Decay and Vitality is an evocative artwork that delves into the profound themes of death and rebirth, inspired by an observation in a museum. The ancient, desiccated skull depicted in the painting symbolizes the passage of history, serving as a testament to time’s relentless flow. In stark contrast, three vibrant green plants and three blooming yellow flowers thrive alongside it, representing the resilience and miracle of new life emerging from a seemingly barren environment. Accompanying these plants are small white figures, which appear to be both witnesses to history and embodiments of life’s continuation.
Through the striking juxtaposition of decay and vitality, the artwork portrays the eternal nature of time and the enduring power of life, highlighting the intricate relationship between the past and the future. With meticulous brushwork and thoughtful composition, this piece carries both visual impact and intellectual depth, prompting viewers to reflect on the meaning of life and the significance of historical legacy. It is a work that resonates with philosophical insight and poetic expression.

Artist Statements Translated from Chinese
The following artist statements were written in Chinese in the original article and are translated here in full so English-speaking readers can appreciate them alongside the artworks.
Song Yatong (宋雅桐) — Me 2, colored pencil, 39×270 cm, OCIYAC2025JP00691, submitted by HAPPYMOMA Beijing (北京HAPPYMOMA)
This is a series of works. In "Free Curves," there is freedom and ease; in "Enlarged Self," three large versions of "me" face calmly and naturally in different directions, their eyes shining with the light of confidence and the light of the future; in "Me and You," surrounded by a warm universe, this is an extension of love — the tenderness and doting affection for my younger sister.
Wu Tongyu (吴童雨) — French Horn Man (圆号男人), OCIYAC2025JP00091, submitted by Wuhan Kangli Senior High School (武汉康礼高级中学)
This work captures the unique power of music as a vehicle for human emotion.
Chen Baiqi (陈柏萁) — Stereotype (刻板), OCIYAC2025JP00606, submitted by Chaoyang Kaiwen Academy (朝阳凯文艺术中学)
I wanted to express opposition to gender stereotypes; part of the image is my visualization of how the two genders are stereotypically perceived in mainstream social consciousness.
Sun Jiayan (孙佳琰) — Reshaped Light (重塑的光), OCIYAC2025JP00537, submitted by Candy Rabbit Art Studio (糖果兔艺术工作室)
Responding to the theme "Revelation and Shadow," this work uses light and shadow to portray the psychological struggle and hope of individuals in modern society. In the image, the black silhouette kneeling with its head in its hands symbolizes those crushed by social pressure, while the white figure symbolizes inner redemption and rebirth. Through the contrast of light and shadow, the work reveals a personal journey from collapse to growth, conveying the power of emotional transformation.
Li Zi (李梓) — Blurred Ruins (模糊的废墟), OCIYAC2025JP00093, submitted by Wuhan Kangli Senior High School (武汉康礼高级中学)
The work creates a hazy atmosphere where time and memory intertwine, reflecting on the passage of time and the power of forgetting.
Sun Jianyu (孙见渔) — Pain (疼痛), OCIYAC2025JP00090, submitted by Wuhan Kangli Senior High School (武汉康礼高级中学)
Through strong visual impact and a surrealist form, this work explores how emotional and physical pain intertwine in human experience.
