Projects
  • Winikunka Mountains - Achiy Collaboration
    Winikunka Mountains - Achiy CollaborationBackdrop for a photoshoot for the sustainable brand 'Achiy'. The artwork was created to align with the brand's identity, while the Illustration of the Winikunka Mountains in Peru was reflecting the woven craftsmanship by Peruvian artisans that Achiy collaborates with. The textile artwork is part of the series 'Transforming Backgrounds'. The transparent areas of the backdrop allow for playful interaction with its surroundings.
