Why did you make this work:
Venice, a city of duality, echoes with the clash of tourist noise and the serene whispers of its canals. Amidst the lively chaos, the canals reflect a parallel reality—tranquil and contemplative. Light orchestrates the dance, revealing the silent elegance beneath the bustling surface. I wanted to illustrate the poetry of Venice, inviting viewers to discover how the locals see and experience it.

What materials and techniques did you use?:
Procreate

How were your illustrations used:
After a morning walk in Venice, when the city is not yet filled with tourists, I felt a desire to seize the moment and reveal the silent poetry hidden beneath the bustling surface.
