Working collaboratively between Minifanfan, Yuwen Ong and I, we’ve given a new breath to the traditional Lunar New Year decorations (Lunar New Year red packets, spring couplets, and door gods), by infusing them with some fun, local flavours.
Cai Shen (The God of Wealth) and Yue Lao (The God of Marriage) are popular figures, especially during the Lunar New Year as people worship them to bless good fortune and relationships for the upcoming year. I chose the two deities as my main topic in honour of the traditional door god posters that people hang by their doors to protect their homes.
I injected fun and humour into my depiction by referencing pop culture, adding popular emoji icons in Cai Shen, and having Yue Lao holding a Supreme money gun.
