“How I reincarnated but kept the memories from my past life.”

The work delves into the childhood memories of an individual who left their homeland and, after many years, finds themselves in a new life devoid of any con- nections to these memories. The experiences persist, yet the emotional ties have dissolved, akin to recalling an old life after being reborn.

“Toughest Love” comprises nine illustrations and accompanying texts. The illustrations are presented in a carpet-style format. Each story portrays a specific situation depicted within the carpet, telling stories about the challeng- ing life circumstances, social problems, and the eternal nostalgia.
