Q10: How to be human?

For this project, I want to experiment with ideography. This was driven by the curiosity of people surround me who cannot read my mother language, which keeps me wonder how this feeling will be.

I first researched different ideographs, from ancient to modern. I tried to combine a number of them and make them readable to people who don't speak. But it did not work out.

I started to research different artwork of ideography, characters, and languages. Inspired by artist Xu Bing and one of his artwork Tian Shu. I came up with an idea to create an alphabet which can be used by both Chinese and English.

The first version of the alphabet.

For the first version, I place the letter in the corresponding Chinese character.
