Project Prompt: “Pick a topic for the zine. This should be very obscure—the more personal your experience with the thing or idea the better (probably).”

This is a zine I made my 4th year of college exploring some of my personal childhood memories through liminal space images and a visual aesthetic that is very nostalgic & personal to me.

DISCLAIMER: I used AI to generate all the liminal space images used in this project. Since this was in late 2022, AI was brand new and this project served as a way for me to experiment w/ new technology I was curious about. Since then, I haven’t used AI in my work, I no longer use AI in my work, and don’t support the use of AI, personally. <3
