Xin Li SYNOPSIS:
Seasons is a metaphor of life—just like the never-ending turn of seasons, our lives, together with their ups and downs, follow a cycle of change. These four short animation vignettes offer us a window through which we can observe the ever-changing times. Our understanding of what it means to be alive is encapsulated in a few strokes of the brush.
