This collection, Thought and Memory, is the result of a long process of making, unmaking, and making again. It reflects a curiosity about the things that linger at the back of our minds—buried in an attempt to be forgotten, but never dead.

Every detail here was shaped by hand: the structure you hold, the objects tucked inside. None of this would exist without the writers, artists, and illustrators who shared their stories and allowed me to reimagine their artifacts.

As you move through the file, I invite you to handle it with care. And when you reach the final tab, you’ll find it empty. That space is for you to write, to draw, to leave behind your own thought or memory. If you’d like to share it with me, feel free to email me at serenaeomis@gmail.com.
