Troublelook’s signature is “messing up beautifully.” Her illustrations don’t promise answers—they reflect people who are falling apart but still trying.

Her works have been exhibited in Taipei, Shanghai, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok. She continues her daily art practice as a way to connect, survive, and stay soft in a hard world.

FEEL FELT

Kindness costs nothing, yet it holds immense power to create change. Even just a little — keeping a kind heart toward everyone — can warm the coldest souls and bring back their smiles. Let kindness flow until the very end of life. In this fast-paced world, it’s something we all need.

LIFE FEELS EXHAUSTING

Sometimes bringing joy to others and living a life that's always colorful can be so exhausting. Taking off the burden and becoming an ordinary tree again — barefoot and grounded — feels so real. Quietly, I absorb the nutrients that belong only to me.

LETTING GO IS BETTER

You're tired. You need to cry, to laugh, to let go, to space out — and that’s okay! Whether you move forward or not, that's a problem for another day. For now, just be yourself! Forget everything else! Take care of yourself and wish yourself happiness every single day. And all those irrelevant worries? Stay away from me!

SLEEP TIGHT

When did getting a good night's sleep become so difficult? Behind all the chaos and pressure, all I want is to drift off to the sound of ocean waves and sleep through the night. I’ve come to realize—not every step is easy to take. But for now, let go of the weight in your heart. Allow yourself to relax and breathe deeply. Face life’s troubles again only when your eyes open to a new day.

TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER

You’ve come to understand that in this ever-changing world, the only ones who stay by your side in your most fragile moments — offering unconditional support without asking for anything in return — are those who simply want to protect each other until the very end of life.

A SAFE SPACE FOR US?

No matter how broken the outside may seem, no matter who I am, no matter how dangerous the world gets — we all deserve a safe place to call our own. I hope we each find that little harbor of peace amidst the chaos of life.

TROUBLE THINKER

Both loving and resenting me, it remembers all my joys, sorrows, anger, and love — turning tirelessly every single day. Just don’t let it be lonely one day.

TRASH OUT!

When the universe takes away one of the options in your life, it’s not the end — it simply means you have the power to create a new one for yourself.
