A visualized theme of my essay and research about escapism, daydreaming, disclosure, mental health, and unconsciousness. I used my underlying emotions and experiences as primary resources.

Print/Digital

How did you make this work:
Some of the prototypes were printed by Riso and developed into digital drawings. I used colors that are hard to find in this reality to represent the idea of escapism and daydreaming. These creatures are my imaginary creatures or inner inspirations that sometimes appear in my reality.
