Illustrations for Dalan Fund — Seeding Report

A series of commissioned illustrations created for Dalan Fund’s Seeding Report, highlighting cultural heritage, local craftsmanship, and community resilience across Eastern and Central Europe, the Caucasus, and Central and Northern Asia. The visuals were designed to evoke warmth, memory, and regional symbolism — from abundant shared tables to traditional woven textiles and storytelling objects passed through generations. I developed: Main cover illustration symbolizing communal gatherings and preservation of culture Custom textile and carpet patterns inspired by traditional motifs from the covered regions Decorative borders and editorial layout illustrations All artwork was hand-drawn with digital finishing, aiming to honor cultural richness while remaining contemporary and narrative-driven.
