In 2018, she had a first break through as an artist, by being commissioned to do an art installation of 10 meter wide giant Panda and 7 meters tall Camellia tree - LOVE.FOUND. in Chongqing IFS mall (with co-artist Simone Carena of Italy). Ever since, she has found a new passion in contemporary art and have been painting for the past year.

Botanical Series. It began with a simple interest and admiration of the flowers and nature. Depicting flowers, trees, plants in her own unique way. She realised they are just like all living things, which includes us - humans. It's a complex community. They carry seeds, they reproduce, they struggle and fight to survive, they wither, but they do it far more harmoniously and visually beautifully than us. Through her work, Yihong hopes to depict an utopia and a fantasy world of flowers and nature. She uses flat, simple, and abstractly transformed shapes of flowers and nature to depict their story, things that are happening in nature.
