Li Jiahao, a talented animator and visual artist based in Beijing, has transformed a personal challenge into a vibrant wellspring of inspiration. Nearly a decade ago, a white patch on her forehead—an early sign of vitiligo—sparked a journey that would later redefine her artistic vision.
After earning her master's degree in Character Animation from the University of the Arts London in 2024, Li channeled her experiences into her graduation project, Colourful White. This animated documentary explores vitiligo not as a flaw, but as a distinctive trait that enhances beauty and resilience. 🎨✨
Her story is a powerful reminder that our unique features can fuel creativity and empowerment. Like a modern-day superhero embracing her quirks, Li Jiahao shows us that what sets us apart can make our art—and our lives—even more extraordinary.
