“The sun rises every day, yet we greet sunrises and sunsets with such wonder. We'll even give up our morning sleep to see the sunrise, especially when we're in a particular travel destination.
There are some things in life that seem so special. That rock that looked so unique on the trip can seem no different from any other rock in the garden the moment you bring it home.
My desire to hold onto everything, and the things that slip through my fingers like sand. Time, impressions, collectables, memories, thoughts. So which ones should we take with us despite everything, and which ones should we leave behind, accepting they were never truly ours?
This zine is based on thoughts gathered during the stay in Nida, Lithuania— an island with one side facing the sea and the other the dunes.
Near the coastal walking path around the island, a sign requested that the visitors leave all the sand from their shoes behind.
The words, telling us not to take the sand gathered in our shoes home but to leave it all here, suddenly struck me differently.”
“an instant but serious zine” containing reflective texts about our memory and perception of special moments, accompanied by pen drawings and handwritten words and phrases.
A beautifully crafted zine in a folded wrap, 15 x 11 cm, 6 pages, 2nd ed/30, Cologne 2025
