About The Entry

This project focuses on the issue of secondhand smoke in public spaces. I documented people’s real reactions to drifting smoke and transformed these expressions into visual elements. After experimenting with various media, I chose digital painting to more precisely depict smoke and emotion. The final outcomes include a brochure designed in the shape of a cigarette pack and six posters based on these observed expressions, aiming to present the harms of secondhand smoke in a direct and engaging way.
