Of Sentimental Value (2021-)
art direction, copy, editorial
design, print

Sentimental value is unique to used objects, but unlike other values, it becomes lost in the possible change of ownership.
Of Sentimental Value physically attaches sentimental value to used clothes, like a transferable currency of memories. It encourages the idea that used clothes should be treated with the same respect as museum pieces, which gain relevance and value from the stories attached to them.
The project lead me on a quest to figure out what sentimental value really is,  through research and written reflection. The end product is a label that owners fill in before donating clothes, and a folder where statements about sentimental value, and pictures of donated clothes and their stories are archived – allowing the project to grow by adding more pages for more garments.
