Parallax
Andy Zhao
This publication explores how perspective and memory differ between generations. Through short stories recounting shared moments between my grandparents and myself, the project examines how upbringing, culture, and personal experiences shape the way people remember events.
Human memory does not function as an objective record. Instead, it is constantly reconstructed through personal interpretation. When two people recall the same moment, their memories often diverge in subtle or dramatic ways.
By presenting these perspectives in parallel, the publication allows the reader to compare how the same experiences are understood differently. Graphic design becomes a tool for visualizing these shifts in perspective through layout, typography, and narrative structure.
