Home is where our things are
zine, with silver metallic cover
4”x6”

A zine about generational hoarding as a family archive, featuring images of my grandparents’ apartment in China. Objects blur into one collective memory as items are stored by many relatives at different points in time. Nostalgia stems not from the origins of an individual item, but from the aggregate of things that define the space.
