DESIGN STATEMENT:
In “Souvenir,” we embark on an intimate exploration of how our travels leave indelible marks on our minds, manifesting through the sensory touchstones that transport us back to moments of discovery. This editorial journey weaves together the threads of beauty, gastronomy, and lifestyle to examine how cultural encounters become treasured memories that we carry home. Beyond the physical mementos we collect, this story celebrates the intangible souvenirs that travel bestows. Through immersive visuals and thoughtful narrative, we examine how these cultural crossroads become part of our personal heritage, enriching our lives long after the journey ends.
“Souvenir” is an ode to the transformative power of travel – not just in the moments we experience, but in the countless
ways these encounters continue to shape our thoughts, preferences, and rituals once we return home.
