During four workshops, I invited children to become colleagues in graphic design. In one of them, I asked them to create a book cover for a story that did not yet exist. One child designed a cover entitled: Glitermeinkloof. No explanation, no context — just that one word. It stuck. Absurd and poetic. As if it could really exist. Like a fissure in reality, where imagination accumulates.

Glitermeinkloof therefore became the title of my master’s project. Not only because it was coined by a child, but also because it indicates the space my research is about: between child and adult, between playing and designing, between inventing and designing. The title is not mine, and that is not a detail — it is the essence.

In another workshop, around poster design, Palistina emerged. The message from the creators, Chams and Rafael, to everyone: see us, hear us — and don’t look away.
