This project is a fully handmade artist’s book created from concept to final object. I developed the entire visual and conceptual direction, beginning with original illustrations and continuing through every stage of production. The process included illustrating the pages, designing and cutting stencils, hand-printing elements, and constructing the physical book. I also designed and assembled the cover and bound the book by hand, completing the entire object independently as a Fine Arts maker.
The book was presented as an art object for a book exhibition. The concept explores reflections on childhood — revisiting the sources of early inspiration, imagination, and the visual memories that shape creative identity. This project combines illustration, printmaking, and bookmaking into a single tactile artwork, emphasizing the value of slow, manual processes and the intimate relationship between story, image, and physical form.
