Thoughts for Food (Stomach)

Hand-made and illustrated paper pop up book

for ITP course Paper Engineering with Sam Ita

March 2024

Thoughts for Food is a part of my Body of Work series and is a physical manifestation of examining my relationship to my stomach. This pop up book is a journey to my stomach where all my fears and favorite foods live. The reader opens the mouth and travels down the throat to a butterfly-infested, twisty stomach. Once the stomach is reached, the reader can flip through my diary of my anxieties that always seem to make their presence known by creating feelings in my tummy.

For more information on how I made this check out my blog post.

Thanks so much to the ITP Doc Lab for taking such great pictures of my project!
