AWAKENING ILLUSTRATION
PROJECT / 2015
Awakening is a series of watercolour paintings that expresses a series of ideas that resemblance different self-consciousness of female relationships which undergone bad experiences. As being stimulated by nature, the strong living abilities of flora and fauna act as the main inspiration which depicts the survival of breaking through the bad relationships in my work. The characters has different metaphoric meaning that touches deep and personal in the ones heart connecting their emotions.

The home you’ve been building for all these long has fallen apart. You know, it’s time for you to let it go and move on.
Arts have becoming more appreciative nowadays and the public are being drawn to art based items. This expands my business opportunities into the industries by converting the drawings into prints and various stationery products such as note books and postcards. Through these products, it also promotes the self-portray brand by showcasing myself as a watercolour artist. The project is showcased in the event, Markets x Hunters & Collectors Fair as one of the bazaar vendors.
