The Thing Around Your Neck
2025, 210 × 297 mm,
Book Design
A redesign of The Thing Around Your Neck by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, exploring themes of cultural identity through typography.
The design differentiates between American and Igbo language by setting American words in bold and Igbo words in italics, with Igbo gradually fading as American terms become more dominant—visually representing cultural erosion.
Chapters referencing America are printed on a green background, symbolizing the green card and reinforcing the narrative context.
