Illustrations / Explorations
Illustrations and personal projects that mostly surround the themes of self, body, and emotion. I am interested in telling small stories with narrative illustrations, and communicating a feeling through the use of color, shapes, and motions.
faces
"Faces" is a series of illustrations depicting past emotions and thoughts. It all began with a simple prompt: design something that embodies the word "reflection", whatever it means to you. With this prompt, I made a self-portrait reflecting a side of myself that isn't obvious to most, showing how looks can deceive. Since creating my self-portrait, I was hooked on the idea of depicting things that are unsaid or inconspicuous, or thoughts that don't leave one's head easily. For this purpose, I created a collection of faces that use the literal head space to express a feeling or thought, all with a straight face.
yellow girl series
This collection is a narrative illustration series of an emotional, sensible girl in love with her world and her sun.

02. Catching Feelings: A girl catching feeling from her surroundings; so much so that it almost devours her.
03. Looking for You: A girl's fascination and desperate search for sun in midst of half-empty shells.
