Multiplicity in Print

From her San Francisco studio, Xinping channelled the city’s restless energy into a razor-sharp editorial for Heterodox Academy’s Inquisitive Issue, created for the essay And That’s How I Became a Dime-a-Dozen.

With crisp composition, clever visual coding, and a palette that demands attention, Xinping transforms a critique of higher education into an image that is both playful and cutting.
