Editorial Design & Exhibit Concept

A conceptual exhibition designed to memorialize the victims of the 9/11 attacks, those who perished the day of the attacks, along with those who were killed and persecuted the years after from stateside hate crimes, and ensuing military actions overseas.

The work explores the timelines less remembered, between 2001–2011, when Islamophobia had a massive impact on the lives of many Muslim Americans. For more information about Islamaphobic hate crimes in the US, visit the Southern Poverty Law Center's documentation of Anti-Muslim Incidents ranging from 2001 to 2011.

The length of the book was designed to represent the shape of the towers. The face of the book was created with black vinyl to create a raised emboss that catches the light against the black book cover.
In order to preserve the shape of the book, full-page illustrations are designed to fold into the booklet, with a raised tab for easy maneuvering.
The concept for the exhibit was designed as if it could be displayed at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York.
 The Exhibition 
Follow the line:
Having occurred during the information age, the 9/11 attacks are very well documented. The design of the exhibit would have visitors enter the main room where a recreation of the Time Square Ticker, detailing the hour by hour to the lead up of the attack.

The timeline would then lead the visitor through the recovery efforts, the beginnings of the war in Afghanistan, and lastly into a room with all the reported hate crimes against Muslims that ensued.

Inversion:
The ceiling would feature a recreation of Lower Manhattan, where the Towers once sat. The structure would signify the chaos of a world flipped upside down, and by the end of the exhibition, it would serve as a metaphorical "point-of-view" for the visitor.
