About The Entry

Taiwan is currently the only place in the world that uses phonetic symbols. This is a character with imagery and imagination.
We accepted the client's commission to redesign a series of Heart Sutra classics with modern techniques.
I thought: maybe symbols are not just building blocks of words, but codes to the universe. Through the reinterpretation of phonetic symbols, the Buddhist Heart Sutra, which has a history of thousands of years and is profound, presents a modern and futuristic appearance. Looking forward to being noticed and loved by more young people.
