a life’s collection
book-binding and illustration
2023
"A Life's Collection" is a book about all the things I learnt from the people I lost. I started to recall all the small and big things I learnt from a lot of the people that are not in my life anymore, and created this book from scratch as a process of dealing with grief.
The whole book was made by hand, from the binding to the writing and drawing. After creating the book, I designed each spread digitally to test proportions, colours and order of the pages. Then I proceeded to put everything on paper using a marker and watercolours.
