“Keep the Flight in Mind” is a pictorial book that I designed with collage materials which are directly driven by the experience with tealight candles.

The sequential collages that I made to tell a story about two antithetical results that come from the term burning in the context of immigration. The first result is destruction and elimination through burning; the second outcome refers to the concept of healing after burning the letter in which you write about annoying feelings. The story starts with the stability that I had in my home country until everything enters an inflammation phase. The fourth slide is about the suspension followed by adapting to the new society and climate to reach the new stability.
