Idea

Emotion, without polish. A visual language that embraces tension, contrast, and imperfection to mirror the themes of the story. Raw over refined, emotion as structure, contrast creates impact, expressive not decorative—graphic language built on bold color, layered compositions, and jagged cutout forms.
