Crafting history

Recently I completed work on a project called To Dress a Wound. It’s a short film, an experiment, and a beautiful visual poem from writer–director Jenna Hanchard.

Jenna approached me to collaborate on creating a brand system for her short film series “Hysteric Hystories.” The first part, To Dress a Wound, centers Black girl grief, rage, and daydreams, examining the emotional weight Black women and femmes carry under racial capitalism and patriarchy, tracing how these histories live within the body while imagining space for release, healing, and expansion.

We created so many things together for her film: a brand system featuring a very unique typeface, a lace-inspired main title card, on-screen text in three languages, end cards, and a poster (←).

Check out the whole project and process, including how we found the special typeface, here:
