Following the theme; I have chosen my gathering point to be the sketchbook itself; where everyone is linked and connected to everyone else. Interviewing people and writing some stories where every page represent 10 years of their lives helped me to understand how people summarize themselves to a stranger and in a short time. The pages for each person are then stitched and linked to someone else’s page showing how physically can be attached together through common things.
