SOUVENIRS
Travel Guide: Mediterraneo

The first time I visited Barcelona, I was in the middle of my undergrad exchange in Italy. I looked up blearily at the palm trees above my head as I stumbled out of the cab I couldn’t afford, and experienced that special kind of full-body knowing: I was, somehow, connected to this place. It took another seven years, but eventually I found my way back and, through a quarter-life crisis, understood that this city was supposed to become my home for the foreseeable future.

Through living here, I discovered the beauty of the Mediterranean lifestyle.

SOUVENIRS is my limited edition art book inspired by travel, belonging, and food.
