Born to be Somebody,
Accordion Book,
Motion,
2024

Born to be Somebody is an accordion book that explores my relationship to my mother and its influences on how I understand motherhood. The conclusion I come to in the book is the idea of obsolescence, and how the roles of mother and daughter change as we become "obsolete." The book connects these thoughts to knitting and punch cards, with a scarf that accompanies the book.

The accordion book is 200 inches in length. There is a navigational system within the book connected to the idea of punch cards in machine knitting.

Lastly, an experimental motion inspired by the design system of the project, made with After Effects.
