043024 : in conversation with @yung_n_dum_ and @kaeyurin
2/2
finding the tiny spaces within the uniform to insert one’s true self. To discover and express- not lose oneself in the myriad of strict systems, to keep girlhood close to heart.
Together, Yue (@yung_n_dum_), Kae (@kaeyurin), and I assembled a collection of thought and imagery meditating on this core theme through and through.
With writings by @kaeyurin and excerpts from the preface of “Girls Reading Girls” (1.) found laden on the cover of the magazine. Illustration was thoughtfully created by the great @yung_n_dum_, the cover design was carefully collaborated on between the two of us— inspired by a selection of girls’ magazines Yue was drawn to.
The words shift and dance- like magic speak directly to the girls and pull them closer to these realities that allows them to come closer to their true selves.
