A personal project about self-acceptance and rebirth by London-based graphic designer Kübra Çetin. Known for creating emotionally driven work through typography and storytelling, “A Dinner With Myself” is a 200-page hand-bound book, that grew out of Çetin’s intimate reflections on life and identity. It was only after moving to London that Çetin finally felt she had words for the feelings she couldn’t see while living in Turkey—being caught between East and West:

“The book opens with a diptych of two facing self-portraits, both of me screaming, that’s what it felt like to fight with myself every time I looked in a mirror, learning to accept who I was. It closes with a rebirth diptych: one page of me giving birth to myself, the other curled in a foetal position, learning how to love the person I’d just delivered. I shot and art-directed every image myself. The book is hand-bound, with a letterpress hardcover and exposed thread binding, symbolising structure and vulnerability, printed on 150gsm uncoated paper.”
