WRITING PRACTICE: 爱

Created the UX, website, and zine for a personal project, Writing Practice: 爱, that follows recollections on love through the repeated routine of calligraphy practice. The zine and website is structured into three short lessons, inviting you, the reader, into a renactment of my memory learning to write 爱, love, for the first time. The lost pixels of a picture create the shape of 爱 to be traced by the viewer. As you go through each lesson, memories and questions about love layer with each traced stroke. In the site, video & sound play as the viewer hovers over each lost pixel. In the zine, reflections spill out through ink on rose petals.

Each writing practice in which we remember 爱, offers a possibility to re-member how love has been taught, misunderstood, and given anew.
