Cha Cha
Project Description:
Cha Cha reimagines the Cha Cha Festival as a playful bridge between tea culture, Asian traditions, and Gen Z pop culture. Centered on the Chinese character “茶” and inspired by calligraphy, tea leaf textures, and hands-on material research, the project expands into an experimental zine made with tracing paper, tea bags, and tactile layouts, along with a riso-printed tarot card set created from scanned tea leaf patterns. The work also extends online through an interactive 3D world, inviting audiences to explore tea culture through both physical artifacts and immersive digital storytelling.
