Context
Introducing an artwork for FAR–NEAR’s ‘2024 Open Call-endar’. “FAR–NEAR is a curated cross-cultural book series broadening perspectives of Asia through image, idea, person and history.”
Context
The artwork displays three quotes – or sayings – around water, from Chinese, Hong Kong and Japanese cultures (a Japanese saying, a quote from Lao Tzu and another one from Bruce Lee). All three of these sayings offer a poetic perspective on our adaptability and our capacity to mimic water, as a philosophical way of living – a great resolution to live more peacefully and creatively the year 2024. The dragon lettering represents a powerful and motivational energy to celebrate the new year. The post-modern dynamic rhythm of the composition echoes the vernacular visual scenery of large scale Asian metropolises, like Tokyo or Hong Kong – as well as a revisited newspaper layout.

I'm Théo Marielle, a French designer, researcher, collector, and educator exploring the intersections of identity, storytelling, and language. My work moves fluidly between practice and theory, examining identity not only through design but also through cultural, psychological, and social lenses.
™Office is the space where I explore graphic design, type design, and image-making — from the detail of a letter to the texture of an image. I create modular systems and visual languages across printed and digital media.
Currently based in Lyon, France, I work internationally across multiple fields. Since 2023, I have been teaching art direction, brand design, and creative research at STRATE, School of Design (Lyon).
Beyond my commissioned and personal work, I cultivate spaces of reflection and exchange. You can often find me on ↗ Are.na, my personal garden, where I collect ideas, references, and resources. Feel free to also browse my ↗ journal, and since I have a thing for lists, here are a few: ↗ places, ↗ songs, ↗ films.
For collaborations, design inquiries, research exchanges, or thoughtful conversations, don’t hesitate to reach out ↗ here or ↗ here.
