Ne işe yarar

This work reinterprets the Four Bodhisattvas in a Q-version style, making them more relatable to a modern audience while preserving their cultural essence.


İlham kaynağın

Inspired by the collision of traditional Buddhist culture and modern urban life, aiming to rejuvenate traditional culture through modern design language.


Nasıl Çalışıyor

The design utilizes modern graphic design techniques and traditional cultural elements, with simple lines and bright colors to make the characters lively and easily recognizable.


Tasarım süreci

My design process began with extensive research into the traditional symbolism associated with each of the Four Bodhisattvas. I then sketched initial concepts, focusing on how to blend these symbols with modern elements while maintaining a Q-version style. After several iterations, I finalized the designs by refining the details and ensuring consistency across all characters. The process involved constant evaluation and adjustments to strike the right balance between tradition and modernity.


Nasıl bir farkı var

What sets my work apart is the unique fusion of ancient cultural symbols with contemporary design elements. Each character is not only instantly recognizable but also carries a modern twist that makes them relatable to a younger audience. The use of vibrant colors and simplified shapes enhances their appeal, making them stand out in the current market of cultural merchandise.


Gelecek planları

For future plans, I intend to expand this series into a comprehensive collection that includes more characters from different cultural backgrounds. I also plan to develop merchandise such as plush toys, keychains, and apparel featuring these characters. Additionally, I aim to collaborate with cultural institutions to promote these designs in exhibitions and festivals, enhancing cultural exchange and appreciation
