Minimalist wall art combining authentic Japanese calligraphy with macro nature photography.

This series is a passion project born out of my personal journey learning the Japanese language. I believe that to truly understand a language, you have to respect and immerse yourself in the culture behind it.

I created this series as a way to become a more rounded person and to visualize the concepts I’m studying. I treat each piece as a visual meditation on a specific word. This design focuses on Yama (山), for "Mountain,” and Kumo (雲) for “Cloud”

Visual Concept

The goal for this series was to translate the essence of nature into visual form: capturing the stability and permanence of 'Mountain' (Yama) alongside the fluidity and impermanence of 'Cloud' (Kumo)

Typography: I utilized a brutalist, industrial font for the English text to give it weight and structure, contrasting it against the elegant stroke width of the Kanji.

Composition: The layout is strictly vertical and centered to create a sense of balance.

Symbolism: The geometric steps at the bottom serve as an abstract "reflection" of the mountain, grounding the design and adding a modern architectural element.

Deliverables

This project was finalized as a scalable, high-resolution digital art print.

Format: 8x10 (Scalable)
