My work is a mixed media research book to study the art and design history of Art Nouveau. 

This work is divided into 3 parts. First, the cover is a hand‐built bas‐relief inspired by Alphonse Mucha's Daydream; the figure rises out of the page as a half statue, so the period's history opens. The second part is the style: nature‐derived forms, integrated art and craft, elegant typography, and total design from furniture to architecture. The third part is the case studies of key artists and designers across Europe. With Hand‐lettered pages and a map that traces centres such as Paris and Brussels, alongside figures like Mucha, Beardsley, and Gaudí.  

Through crafting, modelling, and finishing each element in the work, the understanding of how Art Nouveau fused fine art and applied design was deepened. Substitute the aesthetic concept of the movement. 

The donut tower embodies the joy of parties and dessert shops, transforming familiar treats into functional art. Each donut acts as a small bowl or plate, inviting playful arrangements and culinary creativity, blurring the lines between food and functional vessels.  

Paradise is a miniature room that studies the pressure of modern life and imagines a sanctuary where that pressure loosens. The scene shows a girl at home without screens or gadgets, claiming unhurried time for herself. Soft yellow textiles cocoon the window seat, a woolly rug holds a sleeping cat, while small vases, postcards, and notes gather along the shelves, those simple rituals of care replacing constant notifications.
