"Year 12 is filled with moments of bitter sweetness as we progress through our last year of High School. Therefore, this sentiment initiated my complex and challenging idea of producing storybook, titled Passing By, which captures my journey of Year 12. As a visual artist and designer, I wished to formulate a unique visual language to document these mundane, but personally relevant moments, through illustrations and storytelling techniques. I was influenced by many illustrators who had a distinctive style of storytelling. The Taiwanese illustrator, An Ping, was the most inspirational, as her storybook, The Calling, is both rich in conceptualisation and whimsical in style."
