The Places That Raised Me
5 Things Project

The objective of this project was to choose five things that mean something to me or describe who I am, but I decided to take a different approach. I’m not one to hold on to items, but I do cherish memories of the places I’ve spent a lot of time at. I chose to showcase five places that “raised” me instead.

These five places are all highlighted in a spread with a hand-drawn illustration of the home, each spread featuring a map of the area the home is located. Each page was assembled by hand, and I even created a paper backpack to encase the book, as if this book were the map to who I am today.
