Self-Published Zines

The Traum(a)'s Kunstkammer
A visceral exploration of many faces of trauma through a cabinet of curiosities. Blending surreal illustrations, rudimentary physics knowledge, Wikipedia searches, and dark humour, this zine distills agony into 12 eccentric objects.

2024 (Available at Kubrick & ACO Books)
Spectrum
A chromatic journey through minimalist architecture photography, celebrating the beauty of the mundane and the art of perception.

Doppelgängers
A photographic-illustrative tale of personal stagnation — whether by fate or unconscious choice.

Play (with) Me
A dark surreal zine of therapy abuse, power dynamics, and escape that is based on true events.
