In this project, the damage effects of each hallucinogenic mushroom were selected as 10 types, and each damage effect was expressed in a graphic using typography. Then, each graphic was combined to symbolize the hallucinogenic mushroom, and a kaleidoscope was used as a metaphor to pattern it. This paradoxically conveys the beautiful value of the multiple efficacy of hallucinogenic mushrooms, which have positive potential as medical therapeutic ingredients, while warning and raising awareness of the dangers to hallucinogenic mushrooms. I hope this project will allow people to understand hallucinogenic mushrooms from more diverse perspectives.

이 프로젝트에서는 각 환각 버섯의 피해 효과를 크게 10가지로 선정한 후, 각 피해 효과를 타이포를 활용한 그래픽으로 표현하였습니다. 그런 다음 각 그래픽을 조합해 그 환각 버섯을 상징하고, 패턴화하여 각 환각 버섯을 먹고 바라보는 세상을 만화경을 통해 바라보는 세상에 빗대어 시각화했습니다. 이를 통해 환각 버섯에 대한 위험성을 경고하고 경각심을 심어줌과 동시에, 의학적 치료 성분으로서 긍정적인 잠재력을 내포하는 환각 버섯의 여러 효능에 대한 아름다운 가치를 역설적으로 전달합니다. 이 프로젝트를 통해 사람들에게 환각 버섯을 더 다양한 관점에서 이해할 수 있게 하고, 어떻게 우리의 삶에서 유용하게 이용하거나 대처할 수 있을지에 대한 고민을 할 수 있는 계기를 제공하길 기대합니다.
Judging Comments
This project has been highly regarded for its bold visual storytelling and thought-provoking design approach. By graphically representing the effects of hallucinogenic mushrooms through typography and kaleidoscopic patterns, it creates a compelling paradox—showcasing their potential medical benefits while simultaneously raising awareness of their risks. The conceptual depth and artistic execution make this work stand out, offering a nuanced perspective on a complex topic.
