This design is titled ‘Through the Lens’, and is an extension of my graduate collection which aims to blend the traditional tactile past and the intangible digital future through modern craftsmanship. This project is inspired by the often discarded photonegative and the private, intimate memories that they contain. Looking at my personal photo album collection, I value having physical copies of my memories, as I fear them being lost or forgotten on the internet one day. I am also intrigued by the strange intimacy of owning other people’s sentimental objects. To convey this, I have etched leather using a laser to create delicate photographic images upon the surface.
