“Xi Yang’s illustrations are both functional and artistic. Functionally, they illuminate the chosen texts, and do so with facility and variety, using space and drawing effectively in accordion book format. Artistically, they ask the viewer to interpret text, image, and comic combinations of both, as well as provide their own ideas as the ‘ journey’ unfolds. The piece not only communicates, but it connects.”

“The storytelling and narrative of this illustration edge out the competition for me. There is a wonderful use of color, texture, and symbolism in this piece that is on a higher level than the rest of the competition.”
