What does China look like through the eyes of an 8-year-old? For Serena Zou, a young artist based in the U.S., it’s a kaleidoscope of joy and wonder. Her latest artwork—a giant eye bursting with vibrant imagery—reveals a playful tapestry of symbols she loves: cuddly pandas, ping-pong matches, swirling dragon dances, sweet bubble tea, and steaming bowls of lamian noodles.
Serena’s creation isn’t just art—it’s a diary of cultural connections. Born to a family with ties to the Chinese mainland, she blends childhood nostalgia with universal icons of Chinese culture. \\"It’s like a treasure chest of my favorite things,\\" she says. The piece, titled China Through My Eyes, has already sparked smiles online, proving that cultural bridges can be built with crayons and curiosity.
Her parents shared that Serena’s vision evolved after video calls with relatives and watching Lunar New Year celebrations. Who knew noodles and tea could tell such a lively story?
