VERNAL EQUINOX vol. 2 


Volume 2 (2023)

Volume 2 of Vernal Equinox, the yearly zine I started in 2022.

In 2023‭, ‬from the first week of the New Year until the first day of Spring‭, ‬I was in Japan‭. ‬During my stay‭, ‬I tried to maintain‭ ‬a practice of doing a single sketchbook drawing every day‭. ‬I restricted myself to starting and completing my drawings on-site‭, ‬so most of them are of my room‭, ‬my seat at the cafe or bar‭, ‬or a view from a park bench‭.‬

While the first zine featured recreations of memories over the course of 2021‭ ‬and 2022‭ ‬that were important to me‭, ‬volume 2 features sketchbook drawings that were created in the moment‭. ‬My goal of both has been the same‭: ‬to remind myself and others to slow down and take stock of small moments in life that are meaningful‭.‬
