Rethink Ink

2023




Rethink Ink is a material research, exploring how to make ink with different natural and local materials. It made me question not only how we make ink, but also how we can reconnect with the materials around us in more responsible and thoughtful ways. This project laid the foundation for my graduation project.

The final print was made using lake pigments extracted from chestnut leaves. It visualizes how many leaves and how much time is needed to create enough ink for a single A2 poster. The work invites the viewer to become more aware of the resources and effort behind everyday materials, encouraging a more conscious approach to consumption.
