All the Things I Couldn’t Say is an illustrated poetry book built around 12 poems exploring vulnerability, grief, resilience, self-image, and healing. Through a restrained, symbolic visual language, each illustration translates intimate emotional states—fear, inner conflict, care, loss, and transformation—into quiet, narrative images that extend the poems beyond words and create a cohesive, contemplative reading experience.
The illustrations were created using dip pen and ink on paper, then digitally edited and subtly colored to preserve the tactile quality of drawing while shaping a cohesive visual atmosphere.
