Info

I was inspired by the mesmerizing patterns and shapes made by the indigenous Shipibo-Conibo and Chulucana community. I have always been drawn to symbols, signs and icons, and these patterns, as well as pointy shapes have inspired me throughout my childhood and creative profession. This fascination comes from a mix of gothic, calligraphic and religious emblems that have made an imprint on my brain over the past years. Similar to the Shipibo-Conibo and Chulucana community’s consistent use of dual tones in their designs, I aimed for implementing this classic and timeless look into the project and final design.
