孤 (gū)
别让葬礼成你唯一的相聚

在这个常常“太晚”才相聚的时代,
这句话提醒我们:不要让遗憾与孤独同行。

画面中,“孤”字孤独地伫立于纸上,
下方是一句轻声的劝勉:珍惜仍能相聚的时光。

此文字与画作皆出自我手,
不求华饰,但求启人深思。

孤 (gū) — Lonely

Don’t let the funeral be your only reunion.

In an age when we wait too long, when reunions come only at farewells, this phrase whispers:
Don’t let regret and loneliness walk hand in hand.

The character “孤” stands alone at the top of the poster: a minimalist and melancholy presence.
Below it, a quiet call to cherish time together while we can.

This phrase and artwork were both created by hand,
not for embellishment, but for reflection.
