About Intangible Heritage Séria ilustrácií

Intangible Heritage (Nehmotné dedičstvo) je séria troch ilustrácií o nehmotnom kultúrnom dedičstve Číny. Ilustrácie predstavujú umenie hry na pipu, seladon z Longquanu a Festival lampiónov v Zigongu. Každý obraz je nakreslený vo vektorovom grafickom softvéri, takže jemné detaily zostávajú ostré aj pri veľkých formátoch tlače. Vytlačené hárky majú rozmery 800 × 800 milimetrov. Tradičné námety sú pretavené do moderného vizuálneho jazyka na použitie online, v tlačených médiách, knihách a fotoalbumoch. Zámerom je pomôcť verejnosti spoznať tieto tradície.
