can we talk?

publication, 2023

“can we talk?” is a publication that delves into communication within relationships while experimenting with the material of tissue paper. the delicateness of tissue paper mirrors the fragility of communication. tissue paper, often used to conceal gifts for loved ones, serves as a symbolic medium. dialogue and texture collaborate to visually represent communication in various instances.

well-known monologues from movies are incorporated into the publication to consistently bring up the topic of conversation. the colors of the tissue paper gradually shift between darker and lighter tones, illustrating the ever-changing waves of communication with those around us. the creases, folds, and rips captivate attention, guiding it through the pages. the pink hues used throughout the spread connect to the charm and tenderness of communication, or “talking”.
