Documentation: By Your Own Discretion is about childhood and identity in the retrospect. How one understands themself because of how we’ve felt, what we’ve seen, and what we’ve been told. It’s about trusting yourself to unveil who you really are.
Alive With Pleasure! is a collage book/zine consisting of found ads and brochures from the early to mid 20th century.
