Kelimelerin Simgesel İfadelere Dönüşmesi
Biz çocukken harfler ile eğlenceli oyunlar oynardık. Harfleri sıralar bozar rastgele kelimeler oluşturarak eğlenirdik. Sonraları harfler kelimelere, kelimeler cümlelere, cümleler düşünceler dönüştü. Ve hayat boyunca insanlar doğaçlama bile yaparken harf ve kelimelerle oynamaya devam etti. Ji Lee de bu felsefeden yola çıkarak kelimeleri, logo ve simgelerin ifade şekillerinde oynamalar yaparak onları tipografi ve simgesel yollarla anlatmaya çalışmış. Bu ilginç ve güzel çalışmayı aşağıdan incelemenizi tavsiye ederiz.
