- Why did you create this work?
I've always been fascinated by how people express their identity. To develop and test a new illustration technique, I started studying street style fashion. I was immediately captivated by the colourful, creative and diverse ways in which people style themselves. They are expressing the freedom and joy of living and showing their unique identities without subjecting to stereotypes and role models. - How were your illustrations used?
