恋の予感

By Ella Wong

Rationale: My artwork depicts the Japanese phrase "恋の予感" (romaji "koi no yo kan") which, roughly translated, describes the instinctual feeling when you first meet someone that you're going to grow in love with them; not quite love yet, more like the first stages of a crush that could blossom into a deeper relationship. I tried to convey this warm, hopeful feeling through the soft pastel colours and the tilt of the iced drink in the background, inviting you to come and take a sip, to share in the beauty of love.
