12.Illustration: Space

The assignment of Space was to design a conceptual spaceship along with its environment. The illustration required a general concept that can be graphically applied as elements of the design. The work was inspired by the idea of organism, which is to say the spaceship along with its imaginary space environment is designed based on organic elements such as DNA, cells and sea life derived from the natural habitat on earth. The general structure of the spaceship takes the form of the human figure. The man holds one eye in its hand, reaching out in search of life. The story within the illustration is about the isolation in space, about men’s aspiration for life, and also about evolution that results from the human urge to survive.
