Bound opens the aperture of time across several centuries, centering on Tartu, a town in central Estonia. The publication grapples with the legacy of Russian and later Soviet occupation in Estonia and the broader Baltic region, while also engaging with the context of the East European diaspora. It explores what happens to letterforms when they are displaced from their native context and subjected to translation across digital and print media. The project is rooted in work I began in 2018 at TYPA Printing and Paper Art Centre during a residency there: constructing glyphs that merge elements of Latin and Cyrillic characters.
