CONTEXT
An abstraction and translation of weaving a Thai traditional pattern – Lai Nam Lhai
Pha Lai Nam Lhai directly translates to flowing waters and rivers in Thai, reminiscent of the winding rivers of Chao Phraya.
The act of typing as weaving together letters, words, sentences...
Initial explorations into what typing to create specific patterns could look like – translating the direction of how a thread is woven into a loom. This proved to be too difficult and prescriptive, which was not my main intention of the typing and web experience.
