Despair

A personal zine produced from a single sheet of paper - a few careful cuts, then folded into a booklet. No staples, no binding. The format was a constraint I set for myself: everything had to live within one page, the way a feeling has to live within you whether you want it to or not.

Yiush is a short illustrated story about despair and depression during wartime. Line drawings and text, built around my own experience. It started as a way to process something I didn't know how to talk about, and ended up as something I wanted to put into the world.

This is the second issue in a series of personal zines I make alongside my client work.
