Kouhenboku Ramen

Oil pastel on paper.

14x17x1"

is a storybook-style illustration collection created for the graduation project, capturing the artist’s autobiographical experiences as an international student in Toronto. It follows the emotional journey of a little witch as she adjusts to the magical city of light and explores her inner transformation within real urban landscapes imbued with fantastical elements.

"The little witch steps inside, and enjoys ramen that glows with the chef’s special magic, feeling warmth and energy with each bite. She feels relieved and starts to get along with other outsiders."
