An experimental zine exploring 2020's quarantine and pandemic.

The booklet, created with an unfinished feel fitting of the current situation, delves into 2020's COVID-19 experience. The design elements were made with Processing coding, an unusual and unexpected method in book making. The zine's photography was sourced from my peers across the world documenting their quarantine experiences, and then edited in Processing. As an entirety, the package consists of a booklet, contact sheets, and a poster, all in a plastic bag to suggest being stuck and suffocated, perhaps in a refreshing manner.
