I’ve chosen to research coffee for this project as it’s something that’s very much part of my daily routine and is an important thing to me. Not only is coffee something that features in my life everyday,  it is also something that I associate with my family and being with them.

I am interested in the part coffee plays in society, “how do you have your coffee?” is a common question to be asked and upon meeting a friend, old or new, “do you want to grab a coffee?” is an immediate response to polite introductory small talk. It is something that brings people together and I’d like to explore this through a series of illustrations and photographs.
