Twelvefold: Memories Unfolding in Layers of Us

  • #Print
  • #Illustration
  • #AR

Twelvefold proposes a slow, intimate, and physical documentation of shared memories as a response to fragmented and fleeting realities. It takes the form of a participatory calendar experiment, where nostalgia in relational time is experienced and expressed through dialogue and visual form.

Participants receive pages from the calendar set, document their nostalgic memories, and pass pages to one another. Each participant reads, shares, and responds to previous entries, weaving in layered nostalgic narratives. The current set of calendar images is based on such narratives developed within a group of friends.

Our Candy Wrappers

Our Candy Wrappers looks at collective nostalgia in early 2000s China, a time and space when analog and digital cultures mixed and shared stories became scattered. I turned personal memories from that era into candy wrapper designs, layering them to reflect a fragmented but connected cultural identity.

To Violet

  • #Typeface

ToViolet is an in-progress typeface rooted in a shared handwritten style from middle school note-passing. Drawing from the banned but beloved Roundhand practice books, the typeface is a secret visual language co-developed between me and Violet. Reconstructed from memory, its letterforms blur the line between individual authorship and collaborative invention—revealing a quiet consistency shaped by adolescent exchange.
