a soft collapse

a soft collapse is my senior capstone project that brings awareness to the importance of environmental conservation.  The physical project is made out of natural materials including sticks and paper made from plants.  The fragility of the book is intentional, urging viewers to reflect without physically interacting with the piece itself.  This project is both a personal expression and a public reminder of the urgent need to care for our planet.

Each page of this accordion book is paired with a personal poem stamped onto hand-made paper from various plants and flowers.
