DUALLY YOURS - ZINE This project is about the tug-of-war between seeing things clearly and finding beauty in the blur. It began as a study of my own spectacles for a typography class at Elisava, led by Mark Bohle.

The zine looks at two different ways of moving through the world. My right eye represents the person I feel I should be—the one who follows the rules, sticks to a routine, and stays organized. It loves clean lines, precise writing, and everything being in its right place.

My left eye is different. It mirrors my lazy eye condition, where things naturally "drift." Instead of trying to fix the blur, this perspective finds something special in it. It finds beauty in the unexpected—like the way sunlight looks through a broken window or how a simple smudge on a lens can change the way a story feels.
