me, probably squinting
About · เกี่ยวกับนารา
Hi, I'm Nara.
I'm 23, from Bangkok. I studied graphic design, and these days I take freelance design work and save up for the next trip. สวัสดีค่ะ
I shoot on an old point-and-shoot film camera, older than me, plus my phone for everything the film can't wait for. The camera's date stamp is set to the wrong year. I like it that way.
The habit started by accident. I kept a night-market receipt from an evening by the river in Bangkok and glued it into my notebook. Then a ticket from the overnight train north. Then a train ticket and a station stamp in Tokyo, a boarding pass to Paris. Now it's a rule: one small piece of paper from every city. Nothing bought. Just the things you're usually told to throw away.
ELSEWHERE is what happened when the designer in me looked at that notebook for too long. Each tee starts from one of those souvenirs, redrawn as a print. A souvenir you can wear: ของที่ระลึกที่ใส่ได้.
This site is my desk. Move things around. Say hi on Instagram if a place here reminds you of somewhere.
Usually in my bag
- an old point-and-shoot, date stamp on the wrong year
- my phone, for what film can't wait for
- a notebook with a page for every city
- a glue stick. always.
- a cropped black leather jacket, most trips
- an envelope marked "elsewhere"
