Excerpt

There is no one way to write about depression. My approach in this zine has been to find affirmations of connection. These are in that sense “positive” stories and reflections in that they are talking about what is present as opposed to what is missing but they are not happy or optimistic. Rather, the hope or the connections they encapsulate affirm life while reflecting on the wasteland, the devastation of our bodies and its connection to the earth and air and sea.

Author’s Note

Ah! This zine is the first one I made that resembles my current style. I started using (slightly) more sophisticated tools to create the images and began my long infatuation with the Arts and Crafts movement. More important, this zine represents the culmination of months and months of tough work and reflection on some shitty situations and I’m proud to present it to you. Please enjoy it!
