How many memories can you make at 9 years old?

How many can you keep?

This collection is an exploration of my grief and the passing of my father. Through my designs, I aim to showcase my journey of healing and acceptance, while staying true to my whimsical nature and aesthetic.

I can't remember much about him now, but I remember he was silly. And he was loved. So this is silly in memoriam.
