ILLUSTRATION

The Fog of Memory

This project is a personal narrative illustration centered around memory, loss, and reconciliation. Inspired by my experience caring for my mother after her Alzheimer’s diagnosis, the piece explores the quiet transformation of roles between parent and child, and the emotional undercurrents that emerge as memories fade.

 

 I. She Stood Beyond Time

Visualizing the mother as a monumental figure of faith. As this pillar fractures, the daughter reaches out, desperately trying to catch the floating debris to patch the cracks—an impossible attempt to hold together a disintegrating identity.

Process Block 1：Character & Color Sketches

Process Block 2：Storyboard & Composition

Final Illustration: The final illustration captures the emotional tone of memory fading and role reversal in the mother-daughter bond. Through muted colors and soft gradients, I aimed to evoke both grief and warmth, fragility and love.
