Cancerian Woman
‘Cancerian woman’ was created as the origin story of the cancer zodiac sign.
The brief for this project was to produce landscape, portrait, and still-life imagery for a fictional fantasy story.
The story and imagery were crafted to embody the essence of the zodiac sign’s characteristics.
A blend of vector artistry collaged with paint pour techniques in rich, vibrant colourways, created dream-like landscapes. These scenes depict fantastical ocean-side settings where the presence of water and the moon, symbolic of cancer's ruling planet, draws viewers into the enchanting world of the 'Cancerian Woman'.
The still-life compositions were curated to demonstrate cancer’s deep sentimental value, featuring the character's cherished collection of "trinkets" such as shells and pearls.
A crown, meticulously crafted from these trinkets, was prominently featured in the portrait images. These portraits offer a glimpse into the character's soul, with water motifs symbolising cancer's profound connection to emotions as a water sign.
