  • Memory of a Monarch

    Book design, Poster Design

  • Book and poster documenting the cross-border migratory patterns of monarch butterflies, and the metaphorical, multi-lingual implications of that journey.

  • Every year, millions of monarch butterflies make the cross-border migration from the continental United States to specific regions in the forests of central Mexico. This project is about that journey, and the cultural and ecological implications of their continued ancestral migration despite borders, languages, and time.
