Dopo il nostro viaggio a Lanzarote, non volevo che quei ricordi rimanessero intrappolati nella galleria del mio telefono. Volevo qualcosa che potessi tenere tra le mani: qualcosa di imperfetto, giocoso e vivo. Così ho trasformato il viaggio in uno zine pieghevole. Ciò che amo di questo formato è che non richiede la perfezione.

Dietro queste parole si cela una paura silenziosa: la paura di non essere all'altezza, di commettere errori, di creare qualcosa che non sia all'altezza.

A Curse or a Blessing?]]></title><description><![CDATA[There’s something oddly specific about eight pages. Not seven. Not ten. Eight. So I wonder: Is 8 pages a curse or a blessing? It’s not a number you stumble upon by accident—it’s a structure. A constraint. A quiet rule of the universe of zines: one sheet of paper, folded just right, becomes eight small surfaces to fill with something that matters. And that’s exactly why I love them.

Non si siedono davanti a una pagina bianca chiedendosi se il risultato giustificherà l'inizio.

They do not sit in front of a blank page wondering whether the result will justify the beginning.
