Back to then



In 2023, I designed a photo book documenting my memories from the year 2022. The book contains a selection of photographs that represent meaningful moments throughout the year. To preserve not only the events themselves but also the emotions I experienced, I developed a personal color-coding system using colored circles. Each photograph is accompanied by a colored circle that represents a specific emotion.

This system adds an extra layer of meaning to the photo book. While photographs capture what happened, the colored circles serve as reminders of how I felt in those moments. Emotions often fade more quickly than visual memories, so encoding them through color helps preserve their emotional significance over time. The color system encourages deeper reflection, allowing me to revisit my memories with greater emotional clarity and recognize patterns in my personal experiences and growth.
