After the Image



Fall 2025 After the Image is a print and digital exploration of grief. How it lives in memory, and in the empty spaces memory leaves behind. The project pairs a printed book with an interactive website, each offering a different way to sit with loss.

When someone passes, their memories don't disappear, they become harder to hold. After the Image is a two-part project that explores grief through image, absence, and the spaces a reader is forced to face on their own.
