PROJECT IDEA

ruminator's mind map

This project explores how time leaves traces — how everyday objects carry quiet stories through their wear, erosion, and transformation.

By printing with found objects that have aged, cracked, or faded, the project translates the idea of memory and decay into tactile visuals. Each texture becomes a metaphor for what’s been lived, lost, and layered — creating a dialogue between permanence and impermanence.

The objective of this project is to explore my approach to abstract visual communication through textures and printmaking, focusing on experimentation, curation, and tactile expression without relying on commercial or brand-driven contexts. It aims to showcase how everyday objects and surfaces can be transformed into a cohesive, thoughtful visual archive.

Being the kind of person who collects random scraps and textures actually helped; all those little pieces finally had a place, and they guided the flow of the book more than I expected. I also experimented with bringing these textures into Grok Imagine (AI TOOL), turning them into short videos. It helped me see the visuals come alive and understand how the mood of the project could move, not just be static on a page.
