City of Lights
An illustration celebrating romance and beauty of the city
As an avid reader, I recognized the absence of narratives in picture books that explore the depths of romantic relationships. Drawing inspiration from my personal journey, I crafted a tale that delves into the emotions associated with longing and separation, utilizing a series of evocative empty spaces to symbolize the profound emptiness within my heart when apart from my beloved.
This heartfelt creation has garnered resounding acclaim from both esteemed faculty members and industry experts, resonating deeply with its readers. Through this enchanting illustration, I aim to forge a connection with the audience, inviting them to envision themselves united with their significant other, cherishing the breathtaking view from a shared bench, and experiencing the joy of togetherness.
