Needles and Hooks
Language in Transformation

{ BACKGROUND }

We chose a poem written in a language we couldn’t comprehend, and were tasked with transforming it solely based on the shapes and forms of its letters, without ever knowing the poem’s meaning throughout the process.  The language I wanted to work with was Thai.

{ APPROACH }

During the development process, I began to perceive lots of pattern creation akin to knitting, with threads and yarns intertwining to form intricate designs. Viewing individual letters as units, I conceived the notion of knitting words. This realization inspired me to create a lifestyle shopping experience which features yarns and patterns based on Thai.
