Explores the intersections of identity, experience, and design through the process of deconstruction to reveal how spaces of ambiguity and fluidity foster belonging and understanding. By examining the liminal zones where boundaries blur and overlap, this thesis investigates how graphic design can reflect and navigate the complexities of identity and experience. These in-between spaces provide an opportunity to unravel and deconstruct familiar elements, unveiling deeper connections and meanings in the process.

Invisible Threads
A 272-page book that weaves together intimate, personal stories exploring identity, memory, and belonging in liminal spaces. Through a series of open-ended questions, contributors responded with layered reflections—each voice distinct, yet subtly connected by shared feelings of in-betweenness. The book is bound using Japanese stab binding, a method that physically mirrors the act of tying together fragments of experience.
Using text as material, the stories are presented without hierarchy, encouraging readers to trace emotional and conceptual threads across sections. The format emphasizes softness and fluidity, with careful attention to material choices such as translucent overlays, delicate textures, and minimal layouts that evoke both fragility and resilience. The book invites readers to sit with vulnerability, multiplicity, and the quiet ties that connect us.

Tsuki to Watashi | The Moon, to Me
A quiet collection of moon photographs, documenting my instinct to capture it whenever I see it—an unconscious ritual of observation and preservation. The moon, ever-present yet ever-changing, mirrors the fluidity of identity and experience. In its shifting forms, it becomes a reflection of memory, solitude, and belonging—a distant yet familiar presence that lingers in the in-between spaces of night. This zine is both a personal archive and a meditation on the act of looking, on finding meaning in repetition, and on the quiet moments that shape how we see and understand ourselves.

As I reflected on the impact of my influences, I realized they couldn't be confined to a specific timeline. These influences, however, have left an enduring impression on me as time unfolds. What binds them together are the emotional experiences they evoke.
Apophenia, the human tendency to find patterns and create a sense of order in understanding the universe, serves as a guiding concept. The book's organization draws inspiration from the "Comfort Zone" chart, echoing various psychological states. The process of its creation became an exploration of how the world interacts with the inner self. Rather than defining emotions outright, the book seeks to evoke feelings and inspire thoughtful reflection.
