The Epitaph Project
[Experience / Web / Publication]

With its beginnings rooted within a research-based mapping of the Sprague Family Lot in Providence’s Swan Point Cemetary, the Epitaph Project aims to question the notion of what an epitaph truly could be. Is rememberance rooted in just tombstones and the words engraved in them? Through various design experimentation and exploration, culminating to a final interactive web experience, we ask the audience: How do you want to be remembered?

In collaboration with Katie Hwang and Maggie Xian.
