Book 1: Designers & Consumerism; Book 2: Social Identity; Book 3: Crazy Times Call for Crazy Data
Library | Social media is presented as a library, demonstrating digital platforms’ information distribution techniques. As a contradiction, the library is presented in a tangible form, a series of three handmade books that begs the reader to be more conscious about their content intake.
Process for the 3 books:

Posters | Materialism is depicted through a poster series that replicates the social and moral responsibility (macro), recycling (micro), and the empowerment through decision-making (middle) within consumerism.
Poster 1: Social & Moral Responsibility | Spending 1/10 of time, effort, skill, or privilege to help someone or something rather than ourselves, will gradually detach us from materialism.
Poster 2: What Goes Where / Recycling is a difficult task, although it is extremely necessary. Treat recycling like your laundry.
Poster 3: Handle It / Our senses guide us and make us pay attention to the value of the product. As technology progresses, the physicality of purchasing products changes.

Motion Piece | Philosophy is illustrated through motion, targeting the internal war that is present in a person’s mind daily, and provides solutions when it comes to simplifying the intake of information.
