From the Sour
Sweet Tree
Sweet Tree
WINTER 2025
PASSION PROJECT
A zine of poems and illustrations, created and crafted by hand in collaboration with three of my favorite designers, Abby White, Kiera Helquist Runia, and Katie Javadi. Riso-printed on pink and distributed for Galentine’s Day 2025. The zine serves as an exploration of girlhood. Writings and drawings define its sorrowful yet sugary existence, discuss how womanhood seems to live in the liminal space between divinity and unholiness, undress the nostalgia of freedom, and honor the contradiction of girlish beauty: both natural and contrived, sacred and exploited.
