Places To Be

Printmaking | Postal Stamps

Inspired by commemorative postal stamps and repetition, I wanted to celebrate the food restaurants that I frequently visit with my family because food is not only culturally important to me, but a great part of my life. We personally know the employees, so they have seen me grown up and taken care of me like I was their own kid, which is a cherished relationship of mine.

Interactive Portion: There was a table where viewers could use the stamps themselves as an act of appreciation. There were also solo postal stamps with the restaurant’s address written on the back, so whoever took one home could potentially visit the place to eat one day. The photo is showing what was leftover.
