Conceptual development, character design, and detailed hand-rendered digital illustration for Dreams of Eva’s premium chocolate collection. Created to complement Amanda Hirakata’s packaging design, the artwork combines mythological figures, botanical elements, and cosmological structures to tell a visual story that enhances the product’s narrative and luxury appeal.
The Birth of All Things
Long before words, there was a dream. A dream of gold against darkness, of balance between taking and giving. This is the story etched in these constellations—not just of chocolate, but of how everything begins.
In the heart of this universe stands the Alchemist, his hands stretched toward both heaven and earth. From the star above, he draws light. From Eva below, he draws life. His power exists only because of hers. She unfolds beneath him, three faces gazing in all directions at once, eight arms moving through time like water—Maiden, Mother, Crone—offering endlessly.
Around them, her daughters dance in golden orbit. Vinayaki rides wheels of fire through the cosmos, clearing paths for new beginnings. The phoenix trails stardust as she falls and rises in eternal renewal. A muse cradles her harp, plucking music that existed before the first ear heard it—each note a memory we've always carried.
The cacao pod appears throughout this cosmos—carried in reverent hands, surrounded by butterfly wings, suspended at the edge of a cosmic void. This is Eva's gift, bitter and sweet together, seed and harvest in one. The clock hands bent into orbits remind us that what seems linear is actually a circle—we have been here before, we will be here again.

I created this universe with a single question burning in my heart: What if the first dreamer was a woman? What if creation flowed from conversation between equals rather than command? Each chocolate in the Orígenes collection carries a fragment of that original dream—a taste of what might have been and what still could be, dissolving into memory the moment it touches your tongue.
