1. The Dual Realm of the Cemetery explores the relationship between humans and their environment through the symbolic space of the cemetery. For the living, cemeteries are places of remembrance and mourning, often associated with silence, solemnity, and grief. For the dead, however, a gravestone may become a form of “home,” while the cemetery itself transforms into an active realm that could, perhaps, appear vibrant and full of life from another perspective.

This contrast between the perceptions of the living and the dead became the starting point of the project. Through painting and illustration, I imagine speculative posthumous worlds and construct fantastical spaces that exist between memory, spirituality, and imagination.

The illustration series was compiled into a concertina book, allowing the imagery to unfold continuously as an immersive visual landscape. To further expand the relationship between physical and imagined space, I incorporated AR (Augmented Reality) elements using the Kivicube platform. Through animated overlays, angels emerge from the pages while vibrating energy fields extend into the viewer’s surroundings, bringing the mysterious atmosphere of cemeteries and death into physical space.

By combining printed illustration with augmented reality, the project explores the shifting boundary between reality and imagination, questioning how spaces associated with death may hold multiple emotional and spiritual dimensions simultaneously.
