In contemporary times, living alone has become increasingly common across the globe, with the number of people embracing solo living on the rise. Research indicates that in economically developed big cities, the youth population living alone is particularly substantial.

However, the term "singleton" does not imply isolation and loneliness. Studies show that those who live alone are more likely to visit friends or join social groups, contributing to vibrant and lively cities. Consequently, people who live alone often pay more attention to their inner feelings and have more time and space to choose and engage in social activities that truly meet their needs.

In this series of works, I aim to reflect the social phenomenon of young people living alone in contemporary society by showcasing my own experiences of solo living.


For today's young people, who face a lot of pressure from work and various aspects of life, the only time they can truly relax is during moments of solitude. During these times, they can shed all their stress and facades. Therefore, people cherish their moments of solitude, seeing it not as a transient phase but as a comfortable zone. As a member of this group, my personal experiences of living alone represent a microcosm of this lifestyle. Drawing from my own experiences, I have created a series of daily life stories set in a single apartment to depict my ideal solo living experience.


在当代城市中,独居已成为越来越普遍的生活方式,尤其是在年轻人中展现出鲜明的趋势。独居并不等同于孤独,反而为个人创造了探索自我、选择更有意义的社交方式的空间。作为这一群体的一员,我以自己的独居生活为灵感,创作了一系列以公寓为背景的日常故事,描绘了理想中的独处体验,展现年轻人在独居状态中寻找平衡与自由的生活方式。
