A book about memories and identity
Growing up in a multicultural and diverse family, I have always been fascinated by the different journeys I took to visit my family roots in Switzerland, Denmark, and Brazil.
             This project is a personal exploration of those journeys and the memories that still linger from my childhood. Each journey (chapter) is introduced with a continuous landscape that sets the stage for the story that follows. The typographic setting is composed within this frame, giving shape to the narratives and stories.
The chosen fonts were carefully selected to create contrast between the old memories and the new times in which the images were archived, allowing me to reconnect with those memories and the emotions they evoke.
