[The Design Thinking Behind Re:Born — Chapter 3]

I imagined the ink itself as the Ambrosia—the divine reward at the end of Psyche’s grueling trials. I envisioned it as a personalized gift from the gods, a liquid immortality tailored to the one who earned it.

—The Essence of Resilience—

To capture Psyche’s journey, the visual narrative on the glass is a celebration of her evolution. I integrated butterflies throughout the composition, not just as a decorative element, but as a visceral motif of rebirth and femininity. It represents the soul’s ability to transform and ascend after enduring the weight of mortal struggle.

—The Intersection of Love—

At the heart of the design lies a delicate tension between the soft and the sharp. Flowers, acting as metaphors for Psyche herself, bloom in abundance, yet they encircle a central arrow. This arrow is the anchor of the piece—a nod to Cupid and the romance that fueled her resilience. It serves as a reminder that her divinity was not just granted, but forged through the complexity of their connection.

—The Kinetic Illusion—

The bottle is designed to be felt as much as it is seen. I chose to illustrate the four sides, when you hold it and rotate the box, it creates a spinning illusion, making it feel less like a static object and more like an actual artefact containing a shimmering, mythic essence.
This is the nectar of the soul: a blend of hard-won resilience and the softness of a love that transcends the heavens.

Moving away from “bite-sized” work has allowed me to treat every element—down to the vessel itself—as a chapter in a larger myth. I hope this immersive approach to the “Ambrosia” brings you closer to the story.

In this project, the physical and the metaphorical are inseparable. My vision was for the ink bottle itself to become the vessel of ambrosia. When you unpack Re:Born, you aren’t just opening a set of tools; you are revisiting a mythic transformation. The act of drawing becomes a ritual—a way to experience the sensation of rebirth alongside Psyche, turning the liquid ink into a nectar of personal creation.

[The Design Thinking Behind Re:Born — Chapter 3]

There is a specific kind of magic found in fine-line drawing, the ability to conjure an entire universe using nothing but the humble line.

-The Linework-

In Re:Born, I draw its heartbeat from the myth of Psyche and Cupid, the imagery needed to feel both fragile and indestructible. In the early pencil sketches, my focus was singular: capturing a figure radiating a distinct feminine energy, set against a glow that implies divine interference. It is the visual representation of a soul caught between the mortal and the gods.

-The Cartography-

Designing the composition was an exercise in narrative layering. I experimented with various layouts, ultimately landing on a tapestry-like approach. If you look closely at the final version, the main image is a journey. I put together the different chapters of Psyche’s odyssey, the impossible trials, the desperate rescue by Cupid, and the ultimate triumph of receiving the ambrosia. Each line serves as a path through her struggle and toward her eventual, well, rebirth into immortality.

[The Design Thinking Behind Re:Born — Chapter 2]

If the ink is the soul of this project, the typography is its voice. For Re:Born, a standard typeface would never suffice; it required a visual language that felt as eternal as the myths that inspired it.

-The Architecture of Eternity-
I wanted the letterforms to feel like artifacts—classic, ornate, and rooted in the tradition of storytelling. I turned to the serif, a structure that carries the weight of history. To capture the concept of “Eternity,” I focused on the flourishes. The sweeping swashes of the R and the B were designed to be the heartbeat of the visual identity. These “whooshes” aren’t just decorative; they are the signature of the entire series, a recognizable silhouette that anchors the set in the viewer’s mind.

-The Geometry of Magic-
Designing a custom font is a rare and exhilarating challenge. It is a delicate dance between the aesthetic and the calculative. I found myself immersed in the quiet mathematics of typography—obsessing over x-heights, cap heights, and the precise arc of a curve. It is a magical realization to see how a single millimeter of adjustment can shift the entire personality of a word from modern to ancient, or from rigid to fluid.

-The Strength of Solitude-
In the design process, I experimented with the “lesser” parts—dabbling with negative space and hollowed forms. However, design is as much about restraint as it is about expression. Given the intricate details already living within the project, I recognized that the title text needed to stand firm. I chose to keep the letters solid and grounded, providing a bold anchor to balance the ethereal nature of the ink itself.

And there it is: the typography of Re:Born. A balance of mythic elegance and technical precision.

[The Design Thinking Behind Re:Born — Chapter 1]

Re:Born began as a gift of trust. When the amazing commissioned this project, she granted me total creative freedom, tethered only to a single word: Re:Born.

-The Philosophy of Becoming-
I began to pull at the threads of what it means to begin again. Rebirth is rarely a single moment; it is of human longing—the ache for a second chance, the ecstasy of a new life, and the mission to mend what was once broken.

-A Myth in Ink: Psyche’s Grace-
I found my anchor in the myth of Psyche and Cupid. To me, Psyche represents the transformation: a soul who endured the weight of the world to emerge immortal. I wanted to bottle her tenderness—the soft, persistent pulse of romance.
Because the butterfly is Psyche’s ancient sigil, I chose a pink-mauve purple, deep and contemplative, mixed with blue shimmers. I insisted on a high-shading finish, allowing the colour to pool and drift like a dawning dream.

-The Invisible Connection-
The final layer of the design is a tribute to the artist herself. Glassophy is an expert in glass and UV-activated wonders. There is a hidden poetry in the fact that butterflies see a world of UV light invisible to us. In a nod to this shared secret, we infused the ink with a UV glow—a hidden brilliance that only reveals itself under the black light.

My deepest thanks to and for helping me turn a myth into a bottle of ink.

I am currently focusing on more complex, long-term projects. Instead of my usual bite-sized illustrations, I hope these deeper backstories resonate with you in the meantime.

2025 Wrap Up ✨�
Honestly, looking back at these pieces, it’s the first time I’ve thought, “Damn, I did those?”

I shared this collection with my mum, and she said she sees a new level of maturity and storytelling in this year’s work. That resonates deeply with me, as that is exactly how 2025 felt.

I am so grateful to everyone here. It is YOU who made all of this possible. LuFish Co. is an extension of myself, and I still find it hard to believe that you choose to spend your time and energy engaging with my work. This is how I see the world; this is how I explore it. Thank you for ”hearing“ my voice and seeing my vision.

Special shout-outs to:
