In this piece, I’ve combined charcoal drawing on paper and digital elements, intertwining with pieces of a digitized magazine cover. The main character has an emotionless face, hidden under charcoal stains that merge with the whole, creating a contrast with the colorful and cheerful magazine that has "Special Optimism" as its main theme. This work silently contests its message, aiming to question viewers' thoughts about its true intention.
