Booker Prize Collection

An unraveling of the plot and characters as the story is revealed stems as my main inspiration for the redesigns of these Booker Prize winners. Readers can interpret their favourite stories through these covers, using the foldable segments to change the image on the front. This lets them continue engaging with the story even after finishing the book and create a memorable experience for the reader.

Extraterrestrial

'Extraterrestrial' explores the relationship between human behaviour and the mobile phone. How does it affect the way we see things and how do we act in these times when a video can spread across the world with a single click? The hand-drawn animation is used to create an ominous, almost horror-like tone, to drive a stronger message.

Anomiedia

The word anomie is a term used to describe a condition where society provides little moral guidance to individuals. And when the actions of certain social media ‘influencers’ are used as guidance for impressionable teenagers, what becomes of their own actions? Anomiedia is an image series that explores the link between the reality of social media and the facades clouding the true nature of these posts.

The Epic of Gilgamesh

An adaptation of the historical 'Epic of Gilgamesh' based from the BBC podcast 'In Our Time', this version is retold from the point-of-view of the demigod Gilgamesh himself. The illustrations and typography evoke a more personal story than the original text which lets the reader relate to this larger than life character and even possibly see parallels in his situation to stories told in modern day.

Real Plastic Love

9 of 9

‘Spending most nights watching weird movies must have a payoff’, I keep telling myself. Yet I keep imposing an uneasy feeling upon myself with the choice of movies I am watching. However, my conquest to familiarise myself with many peculiar movies has taught me an important lesson in creativity. The late movie critic Roger Ebert once said: “It’s not what the movie is about. It’s how it is about it.”

I sought to bring that mindset to my works, blending new inspirations and reinterpreting stuff that I’ve learnt into new forms, to translate the topic. The message could be an easy-going, light-hearted one or a heavy, thought-provoking one but what’s important to me is how well I can excite, convince or move the audience with the approach I take. I try to imbue a certain expression into my work through the use of traditional mediums. The brushstrokes and pencil marks add dimension and an almost tactile nature to my works which could rarely be replicated. I also want to provide the audience an experience through my works so it was important to figure out how it resonates with them. How an audience would react to it and if it would make an impression on them is a challenge that excites me every time I tackle a brief.
