The Incomplete Thombu, Raking Leaves

BOOK DESIGN
Design of Sri Lankan artist T. Shanaathanan’s book, focussing on displacement during the Sri Lankan civil war. Designed by Nia for Raking Leaves.



The artwork consisted of collected stories of displacement, collated with drawings and architectural plans of remembered spaces.




The book was designed to feel like a bureaucratic file, using multiple paper stocks and a deep exposed binding to give a sense of a stack of papers.
