 IN HER BUBBLE

Imagine living in two worlds at once. 

In this project, Bridget is living in two realities: her present self, reborn into a world that tries to erase her memories, and her past self, who is determined to protect her from old wounds.  The narrative unfolds through a series of textile illustrations as the  project explores the emotional struggle of holding onto what makes us human in a world dominated by technology and change, offering a  look at how our past and present selves influence each other.
