Theme : Double Tomorrow
At the beginning of learning Italian, I mistook « Dopodomani » (the day after tomorrow) for “DoppioDomani” (Double Tomorrow). This mistake led me to a new interpretation of life.
*
Just like a photo shot in double exposure, or a kaleidoscope, we have endless possibilities. You are the everlasting bubbles in my memories, I carry you all from the past till now.
There are different situations in our lives; we ask for fortune telling, and the Universe sends you treasure hunters, but you have to work hard for everything.
Now, I am living in nature, with my own nature.
The flying cat Jorjor is my self-reflection. Jorjor’s best friend Nacho the snake is always teaching Jorjor about having a neutral heart to see the instability of being.
*
You are very colorful and have unpredictable shapes, compiled by everything from your past and future.

Work #02 Tarot Prototype
Description:
Jenna drew this set of tarot cards during her previous office job working hours. Tarot cards reflect the situations we all encounter, and we have to navigate through difficulties, happiness, and struggles. Jenna used this set of cards to brainstorm Jorjor’s story and reflect on her own life.
Work #03 Treasure Hunters
Description:
Treasure Hunters was as an A4-sized work, sparked by a playful idea that emerged when Jenna and her former colleague Almond engaged in a game of "throwing rainbows". With Daniel's encouragement, Jenna decided to expand the project, collaborating with him to create a stunning piece on a large canvas.
