About Intangible Heritage Serija ilustracija

Nematerijalno nasleđe je serija od tri ilustracije o nematerijalnom kulturnom nasleđu Kine. Ilustracije prikazuju umetnost svirke na pipi, Longčuan seladon i Festival lampiona u Cigongu. Svaka slika je nacrtana u softveru za vektorski dizajn, tako da fini detalji ostaju oštri i pri velikim formatima štampe. Odštampani listovi imaju dimenzije 800 x 800 milimetara. Tradicionalni motivi su prevedeni u savremeni vizuelni jezik za upotrebu na internetu, u štampanim medijima, knjigama i foto-albumima. Namera je da se javnosti pomogne da upozna ove tradicije.
