Invisible String

“Invisible Ties”, is
a response to brief 1 of the 2024 edition of the ISTDs annual competition, which
explores the rich tradition of the Red String Destiny originating from
Asian folklore. My aim was to bridge the original legend with
contemporary interpretations. This publication delves into concepts such as
fate, free will, and destiny. The publication carries forward a clean,
breathable aesthetic that utilises white space. The narratives of these bracelet
exchanges have lent themselves to the expressive typeface used for the
publications titles. These titles were made from real string, photographed and
then digitally adapted to fit within the publication.
