THE IMPRINT
book design & concept
‘The Imprint’ is a collection of narratives, a conversation, and, in some sense, a form of validation - a way to uncover the shared experience of childhood trauma and the imprint it leaves on us. At its core, this project asks: does childhood trauma shape our perception and experience of reality? Combining personal stories with found materials that reflect similar histories, these different works are placed in dialogue with one another, allowing them to speak across experiences and perspectives. Together, they serve as proof of the shared experience of the imprint of trauma.
Designed and produced by Lexi Huffman. Black and white inkjet prints of scanned pages (true to original size) printed on letter-sized paper with a smaller booklet, 4.25 x 5.5, bound in the center. Hand stitched with black string.
