Instructions for a Toy Camera

First edition: 30 copies. Sold out in one week.

Created during a season of change, this self-published zine reflects on the ways my experiences in Europe shaped my identity, broadened my perspective, and pushed me to grow beyond what I knew.

Being young, broke, and becoming - this zine is a personal ode to the raw, in-between moments of growing up.

It's about making something out of nothing — catching glimpses of who you’re becoming while still tangled in who you’ve been.

Pictures and words become a mirror, reflecting the grit, restlessness, and quiet hope of chasing a life not yet fully built.

It’s messy. It’s unfinished. It’s honest.
