Abstract

Circuitboard is an illustration-based skate brand that explores creative freedom, interconnectivity, and the subconscious mind. I’m using the human body as a vessel to express these ideas. Circuitboard expresses new avenues of design and illustration working together through 2D and 3D realms. Through various mediums such as carpentry, painting and digital illustration, I’ve constructed a series that brings illustration and skateboarding together. In this project, I’ve abstracted the body to explore the layers that shape who we are—memories, regrets, inspirations—all the things we carry. My work invites vulnerability and acceptance, embracing the intricate parts that make us whole and letting our guts spill out figuratively. Skateboarding is deeply physical, and I imagine the skateboard as an extension of the body. If our experiences left marks, etched into us, the board would carry those too—becoming a part of both body and mind.
