Main Visual
The main visual for this year's ZOKEI Exhibition comes from a poster design competition won by Yuhi Kawahara, a 2022 graduate from the Graphic Design program.
Design Concept:
The main visual depicts growth, transformation, and branching forms using primeval forest trees as a motif, drawn with colored pencils. Each tree has its own unique color and form, expressing limitless and free growth. The ZOKEI Exhibition represents a culmination of diverse expressions, reflecting the growth of students. I sincerely hope this will be a wonderful exhibition where you can witness refined, polished, and unique development.
