I Want to Remember Everything

I Want to Remember Everything is a series of books, publications, and installations created in Spring 2021 as part of my RISD Graphic Design degree project. Built from four years of writing, illustrations, and digital files, the project questions how personal archives might be made visible outside of conventional systems of documentation.

The work unfolded in two phases. The first focused on archiving: scanning, collecting, and redacting material, while identifying the distinct visual languages that emerged. The second focused on translation— turning that archive into a set of designed forms.

The final body of work includes five books of typeset journal entries, full-scale notebook scans assembled into a large poster, a clear acetate poster of vectorized illustrations, and hanging strips of digital files. In the end, these separate mediums come together to create a single, layered, autobiographical space.

The project also included an interactive writing workshop built around reading personal writing aloud. This component illustrated how biography is shaped through multiplicity and relationship to others. I Want to Remember Everything is a celebration: an invitation to rethink documentation as something more personal, collaborative, expansive, and lively.
