Project Statement

I explore the multiple possibilities of blending traditional ink wash painting with fashion, textile imagery, and printed book composition.

Ink painting matured through Chinese art history with a restrained language of black, white, and grey. I reinterpret that atmosphere through moodboards, artist research, and final monochrome visual pages.

  • InspirationInk painting, Eastern atmosphere, mountain-and-water imagery, and splashed ink techniques.
  • ResearchMaria Grachvogel for fashion confidence and Qi Baishi for simple, ordinary, emotionally direct painting.
  • OutcomeMy book design and final image system combining figures, ink texture, clothing, and monochrome rhythm.
