My diploma work is a book of Sándor Márai, the Füves könyv. This book is about life and the people living it.
For this reason, I chose suminagashi and calligraphy as my visual approach for this project. Calligraphy is closely related to gesture painting which relies on our emotions. The illustrations carry sensuality defined
by the feelings which I was experiencing while working with the text and reliving all the emotions that the author captured in his work. Reading the book, and in some ways living through it, can lead to a more meaningful relationship between the reader and the book.
Thank you for checking out my project!
