O for Origin
This project explores the concept of origin through the lens of the circular form “O, as I noticed the shape of O is common in nature. The “O” becomes both a symbol and a structure—a visual metaphor for continuity, balance, and the infinite rhythm of the natural world.

Concept
I was drawn to how the shape of “O” appears everywhere in nature—microscopic cells, ripples of water, and the orbits of celestial bodies. Moved by this visual poetry, I centered my design around the recurring presence of the circle to express the deep interconnectivity of life.
