The Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean, seems uninhabitable, yet some creatures thrive there against all odds. This project explores life in extreme conditions.

I created a book sculpture with a central abyss to represent the trench’s depth. The book’s dark, plain exterior contrasts with the vibrant interior, surprising the reader. My narrative features a poem using the trench as a metaphor for life’s struggles, emphasizing the importance of hope.

Bring the Heat is a social awareness campaign promoting geothermal energy as a solution to global warming. The information booklet evokes tension and urgency through saturated colors, tight waves, and dot patterns. Enhancing the concept further, the cover reacts to heat—changing color when touched—to reinforce the message of bringing the heat.
