The Outcome:
This zine delves into the practice of self-care through intimate, hand-drawn illustrations of lived experiences. Set during the Covid-19 pandemic, it captures the emotional weight of lockdowns and my tumultuous first year at university. Designed to mimic a personal journal, the zine mirrors the uncertainty and introspection of that time—inviting readers to reflect on their own journeys through isolation and adaptation.
Dimensions: 14.8 cm width x 21 cm length (A5), saddle stitch booklet/zine.
