    uniE621 OFURO
    This illustration is a surreal and playful scene set in a Japanese ofuro (hot spring) reinterpreted with a fantastical and ironic twist. A steaming bowl of ramen serves as a bathtub. The watercolor style, with its pastel colors and soft lines, creates a seemingly delicate atmosphere, but beneath the surface lies a chaotic and almost unsettling feeling: food, body, and ritual blend together until they become indistinguishable. The result is an image rich in detail and symbolism, suspended between the everyday and the fantastical, blending intimacy, ritual, and the absurd. The atmosphere is light yet unsettling, with a visual humor that invites you to linger on every detail. illustrator photo logo
    uniE621 Amnesia
    This illustration is an emotional map of memory, constructed like a narrative collage in which a single face multiplies and fragments into many versions of itself. The two large central profiles, almost mirrored, dialogue between past and present: the gaze is suspended, introspective, as if trying to reconstruct an identity made of scattered memories. The watercolor style, with its delicate yet intense colors, reinforces the feeling of nostalgia and vulnerability. Symbolic objects like the camera, the “Memories” notebook, and distant homes suggest an attempt to hold on to what slips away, to give form to what risks being lost. It is a dense yet intimate image, one that speaks of growth, inner transformation, and an identity built over time. Rather than telling a linear story, it invites us to lose ourselves in memories, accepting that not all are clear, complete, or organized, just like memory itself.
