I Wonder: The Journey of the Wise Tortoise and the Curious Otter
‘I Wonder’ is an illustrated and written exploration of self-reflections examining how we perceive ourselves and our surroundings. It’s intended as a tool to improve one’s state of mind. Through the journey of two anthropomorphised characters, the Wise Tortoise and the Curious Otter, the Otter discovers the importance of slowing down, letting go, reflecting, and viewing the world from a different perspective through the insightful words of the long-lived Tortoise.
‘Stonehenge’ is a response to the ISTD brief ‘Mapping the World’ that asked participants to typographically, communicate, and identify an intriguing insight that aids our understanding of the world. Stonehenge is a location of mystery. There are never-ending questions about how it was built, who, and why it was built. It is a mystery of the lives lived 5,000 years ago on the Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England. This project explores different theories surrounding Stonehenge.
