Description: “qiou” – the alternative new chinese "Character of the Year". It's an invention of the netizens and is composed of the characters for "poor" and "ugly". It was used as a protest call in a society flooded with boutiques, cosmetics, beauty ideals, status symbols, fashion brands, enormously urban rents and the performance pressure of the school system. I combined the sign with the animal of the year 2019 in its most fitting way.
