OVERVIEW

Centered on the recurring image of the Divine Woman in Chinese mythology, the project reflects on how her figure, started from stories of women drowned in water, gradually dissolves into myth, leaving the original voices unheard. 

The lettering, shaped by the voice reading the poems, and the water-inspired imagery echo the Divine Woman’s shifting presence. By contrasting literal and free translations, the project seeks to visualize the hidden voices behind the poems.
