I was just a girl who spent lots of hours designing the cover of a birthday card before writing inside of it. After some years of practice, my intention is somewhat the same: to craft messages with care and attention. 🐛💌

A tribute to Marcel Marceau, considered the greatest mime artist of all time. I was moved while finding out about his heroic actions during WWII and listening to his passionate interviews.
He was a master of silence, yet a very eloquent speaker. Based on this paradox, I decided to make a compilation of some of his quotes. Inspired by the limitations and resourcefulness of pantomime art, I designed a custom typeface with each character made from one continous line. Then I applied it to the space using only my hands and duct tape.
