Dream Friends × Yuding Shi
Puzzle Artwork Licensing Project
2025 | China | Illustration Licensing
Artwork Licensing • Illustration • Product Collaboration
In 2025, Dream Friends collaborated with illustrator Yuding Shi on an artwork licensing project, translating her original illustration into a puzzle format. The project extends the life of the artwork beyond its original medium, transforming it into an interactive object designed for everyday engagement.
Through this collaboration, the puzzle becomes a bridge between art and audience, allowing the work to circulate in a wider public context while maintaining its narrative and visual integrity.
ABOUT THIS WORK
The puzzle adapts Yuding Shi’s illustration into a fragmented visual composition that unfolds through the process of assembly. As the image is reconstructed piece by piece, the viewer engages with the work in a tactile and temporal way, experiencing the narrative gradually rather than instantaneously.
Yuding Shi’s practice, known for its sensitive imagery and poetic atmosphere, translates seamlessly into this format. The composition retains its emotional subtlety and visual rhythm, while the act of reassembly introduces a new layer of meaning—where participation becomes part of the storytelling.
Through this transformation, the work moves between image and object, contemplation and interaction, offering a renewed way of encountering illustration through play, attention, and time.
