(May 2001) [CHINESE CHARACTERS #2]

-----[click to launch project]-----

This project attempts to illustrate the relationship between language and pictures through Chinese characters. Language (be it verbal, written, or pictorial) is treated as a means of understanding a culture. Using the Chinese written language, I hope to promote the idea that through an understanding of different languages, a person can gain insight and appreciation of the culture that the language belongs to. As an extension of this project, this site experiments with graphic design principles that are appropriate to the Chinese written language.
