Daydream in Memories of Youth

Daydream in Memories of Youth is a visual diary, using myself and others to represent the sensuality I remember and still feel. Layered images bridge the duality of past and present: A psychological view of beauty, nostalgia and desire.

I collaborated with two women to show sensuality. A writer adds poetry based on grammar. An olfactory artist created a scent to represent the work.

The book is in two parts: images on heavy paper and text on colored paper with a Pantone wash. There are four different covers to represent exhibit locations.
