This is my first phone ‘s corpse I used it to shoot many time-lapse videos, and once even as a light source for a photography assignment. One day, I found its system had died. Not from any accident, just from being left unused in my bag for days. I tried everything to fix it — refreshing the system, searching forums, visiting repair shops. Eventually, I gave up. I bought a frame for it. Now it stays there, forever.

This is my first practice sketch. It depicts a bustling small town scene in China. I started with a special kind of paper. The teacher asked me to find a sketch from a book that would suit it, and then copy it for practice. I chose this one because it felt perfect for the paper — old, historical, and full of life. It includes buildings, people, cars, and the most satisfying part: the countless tiny roof tiles.
