The series of works “Hello, Mom” pays deep attention to the social role of “mother”. Stones and abstract human figures are used to blend and entangle with each other, forming a surrealist style in a literary sense. The title “Mom” not only represents “love” and “dedication”, but also implies helplessness, restraint, and even struggle… I hope that every mother can see her own reflection in the work. The works contain the secret feelings and orientations of female artists. At the same time, the relationship between works and design is also a creative feature of the author.
