BLACKSUN Prelude 1 (2022)

“Tale tells of the sun that rises at midnight. No one knows where she will emerge. Yet, every lunar eclipse, worshippers gather and await the dance of dark light. To those lucky enough to witness the rare phenomenon, the sun sacrifices her flesh and soul, offering life in return. This is the tale of BLACKSUN” — Sample from a 10-page pilot of indie comic “BLACKSUN” (created, written, and drawn by Suzu). The story revolves around a nighttime performer and explores the themes of desires, existence, and the despair of chasing dreams. Digital artwork, 257 x 364 mm.

PUZZMATE x Suzu: You Complete Me (2022)

Illustration for Hong Kong-based puzzle company PUZZMATE’s “You Complete Me” campaign. The phrase "you complete me" might trigger thoughts of love or some other kind of emotional fulfillment. I want to illustrate that emotion in a playful way. In a setting inspired by retro Japanese shops, a girl is in front of a gacha machine, assembling a plastic figure. Towards the background stands another person, resembling the earlier plastic figure, is also collecting parts and assembling his own plastic figure that looks like the girl. Both of them are trying to complete each other, without noticing each other. Things may look normal from a distance, but as you put the puzzle pieces together, repetition that reflects the characters' obsessive feelings for each other can be noticed... Digital artwork, 380 x 520 mm.

X I X (2022)

“The Sun is adored by many. Her dance beautiful and hypnotic, her presence radiant and dazzling. So bright so that it’s blinding, scorching everything pitch black and consumes all that exists.

Normally representing success and optimism, in reversed the Sun symbolises depression and negativity. While she shines hope upon her worshippers, the Sun wears a sad expression on her face, hinting at the darkness within her existence. Limited risograph print, 297 x 420 mm (A3), signed and numbered.
