My final project is a series of 80 illustrated postcards with pencil objects from unusual and unexpected angles. The reason for this concept is my way of communicating, which goes back to my childhood experiences. I was and still am a bit bad at expressing myself with words, so from an early age I expressed my feelings and thoughts through drawings. I felt a direct connection between my thoughts and my hands and always had a pencil in my right hand. Pencil is a functional tool as well as a symbol of social, cultural and educational norms.
