a black on blue background punk/DIY photocopy flyer-inspired illustration with an illustrated eyeball monster surrounded by flowers and the words “worth has no preconditions” in thick, uneven handwritten script.

Close-up of draft zine pages scattered on a table, featuring black-and-white inked designs with handwritten text and abstract illustrations. The pages include prompts like ‘breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, exhale for 8 seconds’ and ‘every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.’ Some areas show cut-and-paste elements and annotations, emphasizing the work-in-progress nature of the layouts.
