Night Tale
Night Tale is an illustration series that follows the journey of the Strawberry Fish Girl on a summer night. The series blends fantasy and surrealism to present an open ended story. Each scene places the character among large animals, flowers and plants, which serve as metaphors for inner thoughts, goals and curiosity. The illustrations are created digitally at high resolution, so fine details stay clear at large sizes. The work can be shown as prints, as large projections, or as an immersive installation covering the walls of an interior space.
