This project was commissioned by Atomix, a Korean fine dining restaurant located in Manhattan, in 2020 to create illustrations for their seasonal menu cards which would be served with a ten course menu that highlights Korean cuisine. These menu cards are given to customers as a kind of souvenir so the goal was to create images that were related to the Korean culture which can later remind them of the cultural experience they had at Atomix. Since the restaurant was reopening after a long hiatus due to the Covid-19 shutdown in NYC, the images capture the idea of Sip-jang-saeng, the ten Korean symbols of longevity and prosperity of life, to wish everyone good health. Each card is designed in a way that works as a standalone image, but also combine to create a large collective piece – a kind of cabinet of curiosities.
