Roots

The memories you hold created the person you are today, these are the roots of you.

Roots is a book made of short sentences creating a narrative which represents memories most of us hold. It asks the reader to revisit these as they turn the pages of the book.

To achieve this, I chose milestones in my life and tried to communicate how they felt through different paper weights, tears, cuts, & sounds, using type delicately to create a poetic atmosphere.

The purpose of this project is to experience paper in a different way. To remember that we are physical beings with physical senses and needs. Paper offers the sensation of touch, feeling, weight, texture and smell, we still appreciate it in our digital world.
