The memories you hold created the person you are today. These are the roots of you. Roots is a book of short sentences which make a narrative representing memories most of us hold. It asks the reader to revisit these as they turn the pages of the book.

I chose milestones in my own life and aimed to communicate how that felt through different paperweights, tears, cuts, and sounds, using type delicately to create a poetic atmosphere. Paper offers the sensation of touch, feeling, weight, texture, and smell. As physical beings, we need to remember our need for physical senses. This piece was created with a range of light-weighted, unbleached 100% recycled paper and bounded at home, on my paint stained desk that overlooks a swing on an old tree.
