Things I‘ve been Carring for years

Chicago, IL 2023
Artist book
Letterpress/ Brown print

These are some of my must-haves when I'm traveling. Some of these things hold childhood memories, some reflect a certain period of time.
Hey, you know what, these are just some cute things I carried :)





This is a documentary project. At first, I collected these items and tried to use cyanotype to present this project. During the trial process, I realized that the texture and effect of brown print can better represent the time these objects have experienced, so I used brown print, combined with letterpress technique, to present a more "intimate" visual effect.
