WORLD BUILDING
Most designers have a passion project. This is mine.
REMEMORY 01 is a 72-page artist's book that combines original writing, photography, collage, archival imagery, and publication design into a single immersive narrative experience. Exploring memory, grief, identity, and impermanence, it became an opportunity to bring copywriting, design, art direction, image making, and storytelling together under one roof.
The result is equal parts book, exhibition, memoir, and experiment: proof that some of the most meaningful creative work begins when there is no client to impress.
context
REMEMORY began as an exploration of memory, grief, identity, and impermanence. Somewhere along the way, it quietly became a project about preservation.
Memory rarely disappears all at once. It softens around the edges. It collects fingerprints from everyone who touches it. It becomes less concerned with accuracy than with what it continues to carry forward.
This book lives somewhere in that space—between what happened and what remains.
APPROACH
Rather than illustrating stories, I wanted to build an editorial language that behaved like memory itself.
Fragments repeat. Images return in different forms. Typography drifts between clarity and distortion. Connections emerge slowly instead of being announced.
The design doesn't ask the reader to solve a puzzle. It asks them to recognize something they may have felt before but never had words for.
solutions
REMEMORY combines editorial design, original writing, photography, collage, and mixed media into a single narrative system.
Every spread contributes to the same emotional landscape instead of functioning as an isolated composition. The stories, imagery, and visual language continually echo one another, allowing meaning to accumulate over time rather than revealing itself all at once.
Like memory, the work becomes clearer the longer you stay with it.
reflection
I thought I was making a book about memory.
Instead, I discovered that much of my work is really about preservation.
I'm fascinated by the things people try to keep alive: stories, places, relationships, photographs, identities, objects, rituals. Not as they were, but as they survive being carried from one person to another, one medium to another, one lifetime to another.
REMEMORY didn't answer those questions. It simply gave them a place to live.
