This is a Poster / This is a T-Shirt


[2]


Thesis Project, Book, Exhbition, 2025.

Through print experiments, foldable posters, and wearable works, my BFA capstone thesis Mind the Form becomes both a study of disappearing media and a call to notice the forms we move through, wear, and leave behind.

This is a Poster / This is a T-Shirt comprises one component of my work. It collapses into a book, expands into a poster, and may be cut and reassembled into a wearable t-shirt. Accompanied by instructional prompts, this piece invites customization and transformation: designed to evolve through touch, time, and use.
