The neurodivergent experience personally is constant anxiety of being perceived by people. It festers and worsens if one further isolates themselves in an effort to shelter from that fear. In pursuit of overcoming anxiety, I put myself in an uncomfortable environment and recorded the moments. The prints are made in different time frames from noon to sunset, collaged and held together by the full body print. Leaving behind an imprint i.e., the fear from this experience, a disconnection is felt when pieced together as it no longer feels like my body. I felt every ounce of rush and anxiety boil up to a point and release as I melted into the print. 

Body dysmorphia is a universal experience. These prints of my body parts are what I’m most self-conscious on and written on top of the prints are negative phrases that I tell myself about my body. Positive affirmations from those near and dear to me are there to contrast the negative. Hot pink is reminiscent of barbie's signature color, the ideal bodytype. I am overcoming an issue that I've struggled with as a woman perceived in this world. It is a piece of comfort in a society that speaks too much on other people's bodies. 

A zine about Sinophobia and racism. It talks about my own experiences with racism in foreign countries, my anxiety towards Sinophobia after the Covid-19 pandemic, and my identity as a Chinese girl in a white dominated country. Would one inflict acts of racism to cats? My answer is no. I made this zine for comfort, a pseudo and delusional solution to trauma.
