Watercolor Painting Series—
The book comprises essays on women, then and now, highlighting how women’s destinies and lives are still often determined by men.
This is my final project of publication featuring a series of Indonesian Chinese Peranakan literature writers. The stories of women’s destinies and life journeys, underlining the ongoing interplay between historical and modern contexts that significantly affect the lives of women. And as a modern feminist, this work fills me with pride, serving as a constant reminder of my ongoing fight as a woman. Whenever I reflect on this project, it reinforces my determination to grow and persevere, both as an artist and as a woman.
While I do digital illustration as well, I’ve always had a soft spot for hand-drawn paintings over digital art. You could say I’m a bit old-fashioned, but for me, working with watercolor and brushes has always been my true passion for painting.
This project takes me back to my early days as a designer. Back then, my design skills and ideas were still taking shape, and I was far from where I am today. But you know what? This project remains close to my heart, and I hold a special fondness for it. To this day, I often reflect on my early designs as a reminder of the ongoing journey of learning and improvement that defines my path as a designer.
