She/Her - Why did you create this work?
Inspired by J.B. Jackson's landscape theory, ‘Landscape One’ imagines a post-disaster world, where an inquisitive adventurer sets on a journey in search of a lost record of the past human civilisation. By envisaging the ideal balance that fosters a harmonious coexistence between the natural world and mankind, this project proposes a new way of interaction between humanity and Nature. - How were your illustrations used?
