Valdivia, 1960

description

A group project between myself, Sarah Kozlowski, and Jill Southern, "Valdivia 1960" presents the biographical story of my mother surviving the most powerful earthquake to date (Valdivia's 9.5 on the Richter scale in 1960). The story was incorporated with imagery from Sarah Kozlowski's own story: her grandmother teaching her to knit. We created a graphically simple book, mixing classic 1960s elements with contemporary typography, and visually representing ideas of loss, redemption, and family.
