Lost In Translation: A Series

Project: Lost In Translation: A Series

This series was inspired by my love of languages and the struggle that comes with learning all the rules, vocabulary, and patterns that are often different from your mother tongue . After studying Japanese for a couple of years and having some issues maintaining some of the vocabulary and symbols, I decided to add a visual element to my lessons in this series of 18×24 posters. Glitching the images and arranging the halves of the Japanese and English translations together represents my thinking process while studying a new language, while the correct textbook translations appear below.
