Commissioned | New Talent

Why did you make this work:
This project was commissioned by Atomix, a Korean fine dining restaurant located in Manhattan, to create twelve illustrations for menu cards to be served with a ten course menu dish. The menu cards are gifted to customers as a kind of souvenir so I decided to create images representative of the Korean culture to make the cultural experience at the restaurant more memorable.

How was the illustration used:
Menu card design for a ten course menu

How did you make this work:
The images were inspired by Sip-jang-saeng, ten or more Korean traditional symbols of longevity and prosperity of life in harmony with nature. I designed the menu cards in a way that each card can stand solely as an image and when all twelve images are put together at the end of the entire course, they create a new image, a cabinet filled with the twelve symbols.
