I think, I know, but...

(2022)

Typography, laser cut on cotton and wood / Mother-daughter relationship and the impact it can have on a woman's self-perception over the years / A questionnaire was created about mother-daughter relationships and was filled out anonymously by women aged between 19-38 years old from different ethnic backgrounds / The aim was looking at words and phrases that repeatedly come up in the answers and show a contrast of feelings we present to the world versus things we keep inside / The main chosen words such as I think, I know and but connote the uncertainty we can have with our own thoughts towards our relationships with our mother / The design of the front of the bags’ letters alludes to the memory of perception fading with time, which is presented by circles, used as the symbol of the self / The back of the bag represents a page of a diary with quotes from the questionnaire / The use of the laser cutting renders the bag, a useful object, useless – the piece discusses the concept of emotional baggage and how inner turmoil becomes visible from the outside and affects the present / The designs were created in Illustrator.
