The artist won the Traveling Fellowship from the Museum School based on this series. The artist drinks tea and coffee every day, so she uses dry tea leaves and coffee grounds as materials to create art. She first selects leaves of different shapes, ranging from short and tall, thin and fat, and collages them onto the paper to create various styles. Then, she paints the shadows of the leaves using coffee ground water, creating a similar visual effect to that of Chinese painting.
