Project Scope
The beauty of the mountains has always been something that intrigued me, so the idea of drawing all the mountains I’ve visited and the one I’d love to visit, has been going through my mind for a while already. I ended up by putting them on paper for a personal magazine project on travels in 2015.
THE FEELING THEY EVOKE
I rarely have the chance to get on the mountains, and I’m not interested into mountaineering. But I’m still very attracted by its beauty.
I like to contemplate it, near or far. Must be the greens, the life on it, its source, the blur, and me feeling like a bird…
That’s the other world on earth to me, a fantasy world where I can imagine any kind of existence. They seem so far, yet so close.
And it sometimes makes me wonder, could it be the spirit residing in the mountain, who triggers my imagination off whenever I got my eyes or my foot on his or her territory?
MOUNTAINS
In the past, spirits in different cultures guarded their mountain to prevent human from venturing into, it seemed like Nature had great treasure that didn’t want to be stolen.
Today, even if some mountains have been explored and exploited by humans, they remain mysterious, and many are even still dangerous.
ALL THE PLACES I’VE VISITED IN ONE ILLUSTRATION
At the top part of the illustration, those are places I’d like to visit if I had the chance to, such as the mount Fuji.
At the lower part of the illustration there are mountains I visited in Malaysia, Taiwan and France, plus Canal houses of Amsterdam at the bottom of the mountains because I’ve completely fell in love in them during my trip there.
