During the time Bibi wandering on the streets, the girl already knew that life shall move on without Bibi. A practice assigned by beloved Bibi. And now, it’s the time to say goodbye.
Painted with pencil and composed by 6 chapters, Bei Lynn added the colors on the black and white images along with the story to show the girl’s emotional changes. Different papers and binding were used in the second chapter to present the color, touches and strengthened the different perspectives of the story. The author kept the pencil strokes and many kinds of traces during the creation to convey the idea that “disappearance is also a kind of existence”.
