Identity Zine: Dilara, So Far

For this zine, my overall concept was to express parts of myself from the past and parts of myself right now. I    had trouble with the overall idea of identity though because I      feel as though my identity constantly fluctuates and often times, I     don’t really know how to describe myself which I    expressed here in my zine. I     also wanted to create a nostalgic vibe through the old, childhood photos. The motif of the picture frames also plays into that by in a way, “landmarking” these past events. Originally, I    wanted to make the zine larger (about four times the final zine) but decided to go with a more petite size to create a feeling of smallness and daintiness which is how I    feel like most memories live in my head. After making this zine, I    learned that there is still a lot about myself to learn.
