Typeface Project/2011


Final piece for the 'typeface' project. Several snapshots of carved wood typing inside water.
What I wanted to do was to create a poster referring to the recent tsunami strike since 2004, and it's devastating results to many countries. This is a message to all the people who feel influenced by the strike as well as a reminder, that it truly does create an "SOS" situation. The wooden lettering was meant to look as if it's falling apart, just like the destroyed buildings when observed from a 'bird view'.

The material used for this poster could also be used as a stop motion video. Hopefully I will be able to create and post it very soon.

Zine Project/2011

Zine Workshop/ Sequential Narrative

" The characters in my novel, are my own unrealised possibilities. This is why I'm equally fond and equally horrified by them. Each one has crossed a border that I myself have circumvented. [...] For beyond that border lies the secret the novel asks about." 
"Unbearable Lightness of being" by Milan Kundera






This is one of my favourite phrases from the book on which i decided to base my narrative. This is a purely personal confession of the writer's ambition for this novel. I decided to interpret this in my point of view since i consider zines to be more of a personal object. We all have our "borders" but it's when we don't realise them that we actually make it and cross over. It's an inspiring phrase from a well written book that I strongly recommend for those interested in a deeper meaning of life.
