The legend of the Frangipani Princess.
[Student Project]
Abstract
The Legend of the Frangipani Princess is a folklore-inspired comic project that reimagines elements of Malay folklore into a darker, symbolic, and youth-friendly visual story. Inspired by the narrative essence of Puteri Gunung Ledang, the story follows a beautiful princess who sets an impossible marriage condition, leading to conflict between kingdoms. Through open interpretation and symbolic storytelling, the comic encourages higher-order thinking by allowing readers to reflect on beauty, pride, power, memory, loss, and the idea that love cannot be forced. The frangipani flower becomes the main visual identity, representing beauty, fragility, fading, and remembrance.
