DRAGON FRUIT was born from a personal trait: I don’t visualize mental images, especially when
encountering a new word. When I come across a word I don’t know, I can’t picture what it can looks
like it’s impossible for me to imagine it visually. To understand it, I have to break it down, link it to
concrete ideas, and reconstruct its meaning. I wanted to turn this way of thinking into a game: guess
a word by combining two images. It’s a playful way to think differently.
