ODE TO THE MOTHER ROAD
INSPIRED BY THE EAMES’ HOUSE OF CARDS
This project reimagines Route 66 through a modular set of illustrated cards. Each piece captures elements of roadside Americana and is designed to be rearranged infinitely, always forming cohesive, engaging compositions. The system blends nostalgia with a contemporary graphic style, turning the “Mother Road” into a playful, ever-evolving visual narrative.
