Unusual Beauty is inspired by the crazy and beautiful side of mental disorders. To encourage and inspire people to optimistically see what had been passively seen, Kaijie Chen uses strength of art to translate mental disorder into an unusual however aesthetic form. The Unusual Beauty collection is explored by imagining what people's brain look like and from their perspective, what the world looks like. Prints are influenced by illusion visions from people who have OCD and other mental disorders, also as the result of a study of playful looks of brain and mind.
