03 TRANSTILLSTÅND

Graphic design for a book by artist Zafira Vrba Woodski. Winner of the 2024 Prisma Literary Prize in the category "Experimental Work of the Year".

In its design, I wanted to emphasize the book’s non-linear storytelling, reflecting a trans experience that is not static. The title is placed sideways, positioned at the borderlands of the front and back cover, reappearing along the book's edge, where it changes form as the book bends. The typeface used in the title is Stonewall 50, inspired by the Stonewall riots.

Visual identity & exhibition catalog for Liljevalchs' summer exhibition "Stockholm Cosmology"(2024).

Together with graphic designer assistent Maja Schein.




05 CONCRETE BLOCK

Public art installation on a traffic barrier in the City of Stockholm. Commissioned by Mood Stockholm, AMF Fastigheter and the Traffic Department.

Collaboration with Hilda Tenow Benulic.
