THESIS PROJECT
“Pansies Have Faces” explores how design can build stories and expose secrets. I was drawn to the idea of invading a personal space and letting its unseen stories surface. To explore this curiosity, I created thirteen objects tied to three pivotal moments in a girl’s life. Each story is revealed through diary entries and photography to give shape to her private world.
