The Shan Hai Jing, an ancient text from the East,records countless beings that were never fully defined.

Its spirits and strange creatures remain blurred and ambiguous,as if they never truly left this world.

What draws me inis this sense of Eastern mystery—a state that exists somewhere between documentation and the unknown.

Spider Demon (Bai Ying) was born from this atmosphere.

She retains a human form,allowing her to move through a future shaped by civilization,keeping distance and concealment among the crowd.Yet her white hair and crimson eyesquietly reveal that she is not human.What cannot be hiddenare the eight limbs extending from her back—the unmistakable traces of an ancient bloodline.

Her low, grounded postureis not a sign of weakness,but a way of existing that still preserves primal instinct.Once a dweller of forests and mountains,she now inhabits a future city built of structure, shadow, and boundaries.
