3 Weeks

thenheturnedaround + Sarah Jihae Kaye

3 weeks explores the intersection of coming of age, childhood innocence, and personal growth, all of which are underlined by thematic elements of nature. The writings detail personal accounts of intimate connection between the reader and the writer, placing the former in particularly curated settings; in order for a story to be told, we must know where we find ourselves. What does air sound like? What clothes are you wearing? These questions are answered abstractly, rather than concretely, allowing the reader to form a visual image without direct guidance. The stories told within this zine are contrasted with cyanotypes, some of which are derived from the tablecloth of our childhood, or the dandelions that lined the sidewalks outside our home. All in all, as we move forward in our lives, this zine provides an opportunity for retrospection; we can step back into the innocence we may have lost too soon.
