Remember…
This project explores storytelling through play. Instead of relying purely on illustration or text, the narrative unfolds through a board game with no fixed rules, where the act of playing gradually reveals objects, rooms, and fragments of the story. The project takes the form of a treasure box of memories inspired by the house where I lived with my grandparents for fourteen years.
Inside are 18 illustrated cards, each presenting an object or moment from the house, described in an exaggerated way that reflects how memories are perceived through a child’s eyes. The cards interact with a floor plan of the house designed as a game board, allowing players to move through the space and reconstruct the story piece by piece. The visual language draws from Romanian folk symbols, referencing the cultural environment in which these memories were formed.
