Imperfect: A Zine from the Everyday

Photography and Editorial Design

For this project, I flipped the traditional design process by gathering raw material from the everyday world, uncovering a narrative from these collected assets, and designing a composite piece to express this narrative in an abstract visual form. As humans, we strive for perfection. We aim to avoid mistakes and meet the often impossible standards imposed by ourselves and society. But this aim is futile – perfection leads eventually to decay. Mistakes are a marker of human touch, of authenticity. By embracing authentic expression, mistakes and all, we can free ourselves from the limitations of perfection. After all, true value lies in the act of creating, regardless of aesthetics.
