IRL 2025
IRL is my first project outside digital illustration. I brought my vector-based characters into the physical world using hand-cut, hand-painted wood.
These pieces blend geometric shapes with a handmade feel, capturing everyday emotions like being late or waking up in a bad mood, small moments swallowed by routine.
