The warmth and texture that can only be achieved through analog methods are a major feature of her work. Through the “casual expressions” of girls, such as spending time alone thinking about something or a moment when they suddenly look down, she carefully portrays the delicate emotions and presences present in everyday life. The appeal of her works lies in their more than just two-dimensional drawings; they have a realism that makes them seem as if they are alive in the moment.

The artist has meticulously drawn the way the light hits the figure, the complexion of the cheeks, and even the delicate tips of the eyelashes, paying careful attention to the color of the makeup, the texture of the skin, and every single strand of hair. As a final touch, he adds light by painting white over the areas close to the mucous membranes, creating a finish that conveys the “warmth of life.” This attention to detail creates an image that is relatable and evocative.
