Idea
The Space Between is a conceptual stamp series featuring the artwork and diary entries of renowned collage artist and writer, Clara Vey. Inspired by her deeply personal exploration of memory, loss, identity, and connection, the collection centers around the emotional space between presence and absence. Following the story of Clara and her identical twin sister, Maris, the series blends fragmented collage artwork with intimate written reflections to create a visual narrative that exists somewhere between reality and memory.
Through layered compositions, abstract forms, and moments of personal storytelling, The Space Between transforms the traditional stamp collection into a meditation on what we lose, what remains, and the unseen connections that continue to shape us.
