Two sides of one coin: Reflections and transformation
为泰康美术馆设计。本次展览视觉以“镜像与转化”为核心，将概念转译为动态海报。不同于单纯的对称与形变处理，海报从具备“镜像/转化”特征的二维图像中提取并对齐多种视觉语言要素，实现镜像与幻化在平面中的比喻与可视化。
Designed for Taikang Art Museum. The exhibition visual identity centers on the concept of “Relections and Transformation,” translating this idea into a series of dynamic posters. Rather than relying on simple symmetry or formal distortion, the posters extract and align multiple visual language elements from two-dimensional images that inherently embody qualities of reflections and transformation. Through this approach, mirroring and metamorphosis are metaphorically expressed and visualized within a two-dimensional plane.
