"What I'd like to remember of today?"
This is the question I asked myself everyday for one year. The answer took that shape of a drawing that I've beed posting on Instagram and other social networks before going to bed — from here the project's name Night drops.
Each image is associated with the date of the day and a short caption. The result is a drawn journal about my daily life, what happend around me in Shanghai and in the news.
This project was a tool to remember more of my past days, weeks and months. I might forget what I've done yesterday but i always remember what I thought before or during the making of a drawing.
The drawings are realized with ink and acrylic on a 4x4 cm colored origami paper combined with 14x14 cm colored background, inspire by an exercise of Josef Albers.
The whole collection can be seen on my social media — where it was posted daily — or on ailadi.tumblr.com
