"Multifaceted Journey" is a coming-of-age diary that combines real-life experiences with anime. Cindy's work captures the essence of everyday life by incorporating a modernized and simple style. She utilizes Procreate and animation to create strong colors that distinguish each character. For example, she may use a yellow chicken to grab the audience's attention and focus on a character. Through her art, we see depictions of different age groups and stages of life, reflecting broader social dynamics. Adolescence (ages 13-17) provides more freedom and often leads to resistance to parental control. Entering legal adulthood (ages 18-22) is accompanied by higher self-expectations, school-related anxiety, and a sense of loneliness due to fewer demands from friends and work. As people transition from childhood to adolescence and adulthood, they also change because of the roles and expectations that society places on them.
