Reservoir: Photography, Loneliness and Well Being

Awarded
Society of Typographic Arts, Winner

Reservoir, a photographic generator offers a shared repository of responses to the global crisis of loneliness through visual storytelling. Over 40 artists and mentors that represent a wide array of geographies, approaches, ages, nationalities and lived experiences, create new work and creative response featured in a publication and traveling exhibition.

The cover layers letter forms to produce two registers of black bringing a subtle atmosphere to the artists' names. A debossed oval functions as a reservoir and counter form, introducing tactile relief that the typography frames and inhabits.
