About Pai Illustrasjonsserie

Pai er en serie på fire digitale illustrasjoner om ensomhet. Serien fremstiller ensomhet som en endeløs sløyfe, og viser følelsen som en kompleks tilstand snarere enn en enkeltstående opplevelse. Linjer, farger og former brukes for å uttrykke isolasjon og ønsket om tilknytning. Rike farger og detaljerte figurative elementer bærer fortellingen. Illustrasjonene ble tegnet på et nettbrett med et digitalt tegneprogram, i en størrelse på 2048 ganger 2048 piksler. Verket er en respons på redusert personlig kontakt under pandemien. Det planlegges trykk for gallerier og digitale versjoner for nettutstillinger.
