This series of illustrations explores a personal artist's book project that tells the story of an angel-architect tasked with restoring a long-collapsed city. The architecture is rendered in a surreal, dreamlike aura, with dynamic compositions of lines and forms. The rebuilding process is romanticized through a flowing poetry scroll, depicting the architect's quiet negotiations with supernatural forces to borrow sacred materials, blending myth and construction into a visual hymn of renewal.
