This project showcases three sketchbooks from the past two years, combining sketches, collages, and daily ephemera. I used pencil, colored pencil, gouache, and watercolor to document my daily life and travels through Italy and Brussels. The sketchbooks serve as both a personal archive and an exploration of mixed-media storytelling, blending observation with memory. Through this process, I have been able to document my ideas and experiences while traveling and these books have become treasured and sentimental to me.
