For my senior capstone project, I created Between Us, an annual publication that acts as an introspective and conversational tool to aid in the reconnection of young adults to the world in front of them. In an age where the digital realm is taking up the majority of our energy and attention, Between Us acts as a bridge gesturing people back to moments of presence and connection. Alongside appropriate content celebrating the highs and lows of interpersonal connection, the publication features interactive moments of connection. Temporarily replacing addictive digital habits with handwritten reflection and prompted somatics, conversations, and general thoughtfulness. All to subtly and mindfully keep the reader engaged with something other than their device and over time build a new appreciation for real life connection and moments that matter.
