is a storybook-style illustration collection created for the graduation project, capturing the artist’s autobiographical experiences as an international student in Toronto. It follows the emotional journey of a little witch as she adjusts to the magical city of light and explores her inner transformation within real urban landscapes imbued with fantastical elements.

"The little witch continued to learn light magic. But as time passes, she feels like she doesn’t belong in the city, since everyone else seems to shine so brightly except her."
