Between the Tiles
This project explores mahjong as a cultural and social system that fosters interpersonal connection and carries collective memory. Beyond its role as a game, mahjong serves as a medium for building relationships, sharing memories, and reinforcing cultural identities. By transforming mahjong into a contemporary visual language through a card-based design, this project reinterprets traditional gameplay in a more accessible format. It aims to broaden engagement across diverse audiences while bridging generational and cultural gaps, ultimately preserving and reactivating mahjong’s core value as a medium of human connection.
