In the story “Ostracon” by Alex Rose, the main character Katya and her husband Joe collects strange and mysterious objects in their Armoire. This project was an attempt to create a series of bizarre and fantastical portraits about the nine objects that appear in the story. These objects serve no functional purpose and may appear to be mere pieces of junk, but to Katya and to those who appreciate the true history and meaning behind them, they become a valuable treasure. Given minimum information about these objects, I created a unique historical background behind each object to bring their past to life. I wanted to convey a sense of mystery and nostalgia through the line work and the texture of the paper, and effectively tell the story using elaborate ornamental details.
