Mantras

'Mantras' is a pattern collection that reflects on the intrapersonal effects of lockdowns. Using my diaries as a starting point, I assigned a word to describe my weeks for a year; each prefixed by 're' as a nod to the repetitive nature of both the patterns and life during quarantine. I chose calligraphy as a way to turn these words into an exploration of patterns, type and legibility, as well as a tool for processing this period. These patterns serve as a subjective timeline of 52 weeks.
