Apex

Apex is a fine art landscape photography series that examines the organic forms and textures of a mountain peak. The images were captured at the summit of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Yunnan Province, China, at an altitude of 4280 meters. The rock formations create a contrast between ordered complexity and simplicity, offering a different perspective on natural beauty. The photographs were taken handheld with one digital camera and a single prime lens, then processed and retouched digitally. Apex is intended as a serene and meditative medium for viewers.

I am Nesia

I am Nesia is a photography series about the effects of the 2020 lockdown on the human spirit. Each image was made by turning the lens focus in the wrong direction, so that landscapes became soft fields of colour that resemble watercolour paintings. A dark figure was then added to each scene as a metaphor for fear and anxiety, and a grain texture completes the compositions. The series is produced as large format light boxes of 1200 by 2000 millimetres. The intent is to record a period of uncertainty and to show that people can adapt and prevail.

Nght

A series about the beauty of sunsets, moonrises, and reflections. Due to the different light conditions during the day the same building can look different each time you look at it. During the retouching process, the buildings get isolated from their environment to bring out the uniqueness of the buildings and to be able to edit the sky. In some cases, they are also manipulated to give it a more surreal touch.

Talking Peppers

Talking Peppers is a black and white art photograph from the series Nus Nous. The image shows peppers recorded in close-up, yet many viewers see human bodies or parts of them. When the print is rotated, the imagined forms disappear and other shapes may be seen instead. The photograph is taken with a large format optical bench camera and microscope optics at very small apertures, which gives a shallow depth of field. The negative is printed by hand on cotton-backed paper and toned with selenium for long durability.

Nanxiang Incity

Nanxiang Incity is a visual signage system created for a shopping mall in Shanghai. The design draws on the local culture of Nanxiang, an area known for cranes and temples, and turns the form of cranes flying in pairs into abstract signage images. Floor guides and merchant listings are placed at escalator entrances and exits and at points where visitor flows cross. White ink blocking printing is applied to the light sheets, so text and outlines stay clear. The hanging pieces use mirror pivot points that blend with the mall interior.

Krafton Game Union

Krafton is a brand experience design created for a group of game development studios. The logo design system expresses both the uniqueness of each alliance brand and the consistency of the group. The design is inspired by the crest of a craft guild of the Middle Ages, and a shield-shaped frame is used as the basic form. The same crest shape is applied to all alliance brands and is differentiated by designated colors. Logos, colors, typefaces and key visuals are used across touchpoints such as business cards, forms, icons and advertisements.
