No Way Home


3x3 International Illustration Professional Show no.23 | Honorable Mention


Starting with the question, “Where is my home?”,
No Way Home explores the idea of home through the metaphor of a snail carrying its shell wherever it goes. 
It reflects on the feeling of displacement and the realization that 
home may be something we carry within us, rather than a place we belong to.









Moments Unheld, Never Lost

An exploration of fleeting moments and the traces they leave behind.
Through familiar symbols of passing time and everyday memories, 
this illustration reflects on how moments we can no longer hold onto continue to live within us.
 







Life with No Fork? No Problem!

A playful take on life's unexpected challenges,
reminding us that there's always another way forward. 
Even when things don't go as planned, 
sometimes all it takes is a little change in perspective.







The Way I Remember Everything I’ve Loved

Wanting to keep the memories I had captured in photographs from getting lost among countless images in my gallery,
I revisited the places and moments I had once experienced.
By looking back and reliving those memories, I find myself remembering, once again, everything I have loved.








Never Behind

Yesterday is behind us, and tomorrow is yet to come.
Today remains unwritten, and what we make of it is up to us. 
We don't have to let the past hold us back from moving forward.
