"Love is Blind" is a visual acuity chart to symbolize love's impermanence, loneliness, and illusion of fulfillment.
The poster shows how love's blindness envelops individuals, revealing only 愛 (the Chinese character for love) regardless of clarity or perception.

“Narrative of Love” International Poster Biennial
*(Creative Coding)

"Narrative of Love," a thematic exhibition for the 751 International Design Festival, is co-hosted by the Central Academy of Fine Arts School of Design and the Cumulus International Association of Universities and Colleges of Art, Design, 2023, Beijing.

The exhibition responds to the festival's focus on "Heritage of Love" and reflects on contemporary concerns. "Narrative of Love" features a dedicated archival section that explores the concept of love from three perspectives: ideas, tools, and challenges. The exhibition utilizes a diverse range of mediums including academic literature, dynamic video, art posters, original music, spatial installations, and cultural dialogues to interpret the concept of love.

Lingyi’s work “Love is Blind” was chosen for the poster exhibition.

Love, Blind, Blur of Our Heart.

As the title suggests, the visual design system is rooted in our perception of visuals. But what about designing for the blind love? If we were blind, how would we sense the presence of love, feel its texture, or perceive its shape?
Visual designers are well-versed in creating for sight, but the sensitivity of vision can sometimes obscure our understanding, blurring the lines between who we are and who we love. Rethinking the narrative of love, the phrase "blind" takes on a deeper, more profound meaning.
