Sandra and Monica, like other eighth-semester students, spend most of their time working on a major project. Final-year students like them usually form small groups to work on projects together. It is during this time that Sandra and Monica meet Patricia, whom they often run into while preparing their final project works in the studio, which brings the three girls closer together.
The three girls often discuss the themes of the exhibition moodboards they are going to create to get each other's opinions, and they don't forget to share their various references for the two best works they will exhibit. One bright day in early April, Monica enters the studio carrying a bag and some of the latest fashion magazines, finding her two friends already inside with their laptops.
"Hey, I brought you the latest magazines of the season," says Monica casually as she busily places several magazines she has bought on their meeting table.
"I think it would be more interesting if I use an ocean theme. You know, like water, the sea, and coral. What do you think?" Sandra says enthusiastically, opening her moodboard that contains several magazine photos depicting models with a blue and oceanic theme for a spring photoshoot from the previous year.
Hearing this, Patricia and Monica lift their heads and begin examining parts of the moodboard that Sandra displays. Monica furrows her brow after flipping through several pages and looks at Sandra for a moment before speaking.
"I think it's good, but isn't the ocean concept too common?" says Monica, shrugging her shoulders.
"Really? I don't think so," replies Sandra, checking the moodboard she has assembled again.
"Patricia, what do you think? Do you agree with her?" Monica asks, resting her chin in her hand, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Patricia, whose name has been called, immediately shakes her head and looks at Sandra with an encouraging gaze.
"I think you can do it, Sandra. You're inspired by a great concept. The ocean has many elements, and you'll surely find a lot of inspiration," Patricia replies reassuringly.
"Hmm, alright. As long as you can incorporate the ocean elements into your design, it will be a good point. If you're confident in taking this theme, it's fine," adds Monica, looking at Sandra.
Sandra nods enthusiastically, grateful to discuss her dilemma with her two friends while choosing the theme. The three girls continue their discussion about the theme when Patricia, who has been staring at her laptop for a while, shows her moodboard to Sandra and Monica.
"What if I use this concept? I'm planning to use a nature theme, especially the flora and fauna in the forest," Patricia proposes, looking at her two friends curiously.
Monica glances at several parts of Patricia's moodboard and starts nodding, followed by Sandra, who carefully examines Patricia's laptop screen.
"I think you can definitely do it, Patricia. The moodboard you've made is detailed, and it's a great concept," Monica responds, followed by Sandra's nod.
"It's very beautiful and perfectly detailed about the nature theme you're going for," Sandra adds.
"What about you, Monica? Have you found your theme yet?" Sandra asks enthusiastically, looking at Monica curiously.
"You know, I really want to use a Fire theme. I think I'll take inspiration from some Chinese culture, like the Phoenix. Do you think it would suit me?" explains Monica while showing some pieces of her moodboard on her laptop.
"Of course, as long as you enjoy it, you'll definitely manage. I've seen some of your initial sketches, and they're great!" Sandra encourages, followed by Patricia's nod.
