NEST
The things we accumulate tell a story.
Gathered from 25 interviews and 22 different collections, from 8 year old collectors to 90 year old collectors, from the ephemeral to the heirloom, and from short term stashes to life-long accumulations, Nest is an introspective into the role that our collections play in creating, defining and recording our identities.
Exhibited in February 2024, this was my capstone project for my Graphic Design BFA at BYU.
