Material Memoirs

EXPERIMENTAL LETTERING for 
MASTER THESIS PROJECT

Material Memories was my thesis project in the framework of the Master of Design Program at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. The objective was to explore the intersection of stories, everyday household items, typography, and memories through design of objects.

The theme is based on three stories from my grandmother's memoirs (written in Russian), which revolve around specific artifacts - a chair, a sieve, and a robe. The actual objects, which might carry on them the physical remnants of these memories, are long lost. In an effort to preserve the memories, I expressed the stories through tactile letterforms that became an integral part of the objects, creating a message both visual and experiential, a unique experience that involves senses to evoke emotion.
