The Softness in the Eyes is a series that explores the subtle details of intimate relationships in her memories. Yanmei uses simple, everyday objects to evoke emotions and create a sense of intimacy. By isolating these familiar items from their usual contexts, she encourages viewers to reflect on their own experiences and connections. The flowing, delicate brushstrokes in the series convey the energy she senses from the world around her, which is fleeting like the emotions.
