Presence, Again layout in wave like formation, with reminiscent of dominoes.
Close-up of the index cards, featuring four distinct iterations of the same location photograph.
The index cards are arranged freely rather than in a strict sequence, allowing visual abundance to emerge from the logic of repetition and copies.
The back of each card presents the iteration title, place name, and a carefully arranged description.
The descriptive text varies across iterations, including forms that are deliberately fragmented or mirrored in reverse.
Shadow effect from the back view.
A top view perspective reveals the shadow effect where light passes through the gaps between the cards and their overlapping arrangement casts shadows onto one another.
A tour guide booklet that helps audience understand the work while unifying the project into a more cohesive presentation.
The booklet is designed as a folded accordion, while still displaying a thumbnail of each city.
The next side of the booklet introduces the techniques and conceptual meanings behind each iteration.
When viewed from an angled perspective, the booklet reveals the names of the cities along with their accompanying photographs.
I am a graphic design student with a multicultural background whose work explores the intersections of material process, perception, and visual systems. Throughout my practice, I have developed a interest in how reproduction and repetition influence the way we see and remember. Moving fluidly between analogue and digital media, I translate theoretical ideas into tactile visual forms.
Presence, Again extends this idea through photography, print, and iterative reproduction, using material experimentation to question and reframe notions of authenticity and presence in contemporary visual culture.
