Gum label Doublemint recently held an art exhibition in Sanlitun in Beijing.

Inspired by the Doublemint gum wrapper, more than 10 artists were invited to express their ideas of love and connection through paintings, sculptures, installations and photographs.

Renowned photographer Chen Man made five paintings for the event, based on her story with her grandmother.

"I want to inspire people's respect about love in a digital age when people usually ignore their true feelings," she says.
