Contrast/Kонтраст
Contrast/Kонтраст is a publication designed to commemorate RussAm. A student service network that involved a collaboration between students from Russia and the United States. The publication features photography, writing and artwork by students from across the world.
It was a pleasure to take part in this program. Partially disrupted by the pandemic, our cohort tackled the issues of the time in a way that shifted with the world. In person interviews became Zoom calls. We examined race in a global context, photography through he lens of the U.S. and Russia, the environment and even food waste.
Asylum Magazine
Asylum was my first effort at a ‘zine’ or personal publication. Using work that produced over a 1 year period, the publication grew into something of personal creative diary. It was important to me for it to represent all that I do. Including design, photography, collage and research it is a cumulative display of my approach as a designer and artist.
Part documentary and part commentary, this publication casts it’s eye on the growing sense of frustration among our many communities. From the growing gap in understanding our environment from a pedestrian perspective to the conversation concerning representation and race, Asylum was made to explore this discourse in a space I found most safe, my work.
