Editorial Illustration

An illustration about intellectual nomadism — inspired by the writings of Kenneth White.

A figure travels through an imagined cosmic space, carried by a suitcase that functions as both vehicle and interior.
The windows reveal fragments of places, memories and possible lives, existing simultaneously rather than sequentially.

Nomadism here is not about arrival, but about staying in motion — mentally, imaginatively, conceptually.

PROZESS (short)

Developed from intuitive sketches on the iPad to a refined digital illustration on desktop.
Custom brush work and risograph-inspired textures were used to introduce tactility and an archival quality, contrasting the vastness of the imagined space.
