Inspired by quilts and the title of this special gathering space for the World’s Borough Bookshop: “La Esquina”. I thought about being cozy in a blanket or on sitting on a rug while someone shares their stories.

This corner outside of the bookshop in Jackson Heights, NY is a space used for gathering and story telling by some of the authors the owner carries in his shop. I also liked that a quilt traditionally is another way of story telling and passing down traditions through generations, which makes it the perfect design for this space.

I was also one of the recipients of the 2024 Queens Arts Fund: New Work Foundation and this was the project I pitched and used the funds to bring to life.
