P009 → 23 Years Too Late
23 Years Too Late is a three-part zine written as a letter to my younger self. It reflects on the experiences, questions, and emotions I never fully processed at the time. Each part addresses a different stage of growing up—what was left unsaid, what I wish I had known, and the things that still linger. This project is both a reflection and a reconciliation, revisiting memories with the clarity and understanding that only time provides.
The zine is printed on vellum, chosen for its delicate, translucent quality, which symbolizes the fragility and layered nature of memory. Saddle-stitch binding enhances the intimate, handmade character of the work. Through layered text and imagery, the zine explores themes of self-acceptance, missed pportunities, and the ways in which the past continues to shape the present.
