"Labels" is a creative self-discovery project that features my efforts of proving myself against the many labels that have been attached to me over the years as a person, a student and a designer.
This project is about revealing my side of the story and showing evidence of my statements.
In a way, the project also marks a poetic finish to my 4 years in design school. From my early years of relying heavily to complete dependence on digital graphics and typefaces, this is a journey back to the basics. Featuring hands on craftsmanship and physical prints.
And my story, be told in mediums that reflects the truth of it.

"There comes a point when it becomes too much, when we get too tired to fight anymore. So we give up. That's when the real work begins. To find hope where there seems to be absolutely none at all."

"It's like I came into this world, being me, just me. Each day, someone or something puts a mark on me. They take something from me, & leave something behind. At the end of the day, I may be decorated, honed, or polished, but no one knows how much of myself that I've given up to be like this."

"I hate being insignificant. To be unnoticed & ignored. Design saved me from that."
