art land & sea told as one story

This project designs an editorial glossary exploring the art and culture of Oceania. OCEANIA: Art & Culture Intertwined brings together the region’s diverse communities, traditions, symbols, and relationship with the sea. The challenge is that Oceania is often represented through isolated cultural symbols, overlooking the connections between its people, places, and histories. To address this, the design uses bold illustrations, earthy colors, maps, and archival inspired elements to create a cohesive visual language. The result is a collector’s glossary that transforms cultural research into a visual journey through Oceania, highlighting the relationship between art, culture, geography, and the ocean.
