in progress

The book will consist of illustrations of objects that had meaning in my life. Each object will come together to unravel the story about me. lived in multiple countries since I was young and had to go through different cultures. Each country had a unique atmosphere and background. Learning each culture and trying to fit into a new environment has been challenging but it has surely contributed in shaping who I am now. Throughout my stays in countries, I had a particular obsession in collecting objects that were unique to each country. As time passed, I grew attachment to these objects as they felt like they represented my special times when I was living in each country. Therefore, I felt that drawings of packaging of different products I encountered as I grew up would be a good way of illustrating my past and my present. This process means a lot to me because this was something I really wanted to create sometime in my lifetime. I think this year is the right time where i finally settled in and I am preparing for my next chapter in life. By creating a book, I want to reflect on my life and spend time to study about myself and how different chapters have contributed to who I am today.
