Ruohan Wang (@ruo_han_wang) is renowned for her use of colour and her commitment to the concept of “Time and Energy Transformation,” which she uses to illustrate how everything in the universe is interconnected through being in a state of constant energy transformation. Protecting the planet is a recurring theme for Wang, and her work often includes depictions of positive interactions between humans, plants, animals, and nature.
