Nineteen Eighty-Four
120×190 mm; printed cover mockup using a repurposed text block, authored by George Orwell. Redesigned as a self-initiated project.
Penguin Classics Edition, published in 2021 as a hardcover, 138x204 mm
Reinterpreted Orwell’s story through a present-day lens. Instead of showing Big Brother directly, the design focuses on scale, repetition, and digital sameness to evoke today’s surveillance culture—quiet, omnipresent, and dehumanizing.
Started from the idea of constant surveillance—images of CCTV control rooms sparked the initial concept.
Explored a wall of screens as a metaphor. A curved layout emphasized scale and immersion.
Built the grid digitally and shaped the numbers “1984” using black screens, referencing a digital clock.
Filled each screen with video call images. The sheer volume creates a modern and chilling sense of being watched.
