My original tumblr post was here. The images were originally posted by the artist Wenqing Yan on her Tumblr Avant-Kitsch. She added the following text:
~Boundless~
From the depth of the ocean
To the limitless sky
Open a book, open your mind
This world is boundless
So let your imagination fly—–
Happy almost Thanksgiving, everyone!
I grew up in a small apartment in China and was raised by my grandparents. When I’m not studying or doing homework, I would go into the office/storage room where all the books are kept and flip through all the books about animals. The photos and illustrations of all the different species always fascinated me and inspired me to learn, understand, and draw the world around me. It gave me a glimpse beyond the rundown apartments and the grey skies of China that I grew up in. Even though the storage room was no bigger than a bathroom, with those books, the walls opened up and the world became boundless.
