The El Salvador zine was made from a month long stay in Usulután, El Salvador, my father’s hometown.
 
I went for the first time in 2018 and he returned to his homeland for the first time in 30 years. This zine captures my feelings about seeing a part of my history, seeing family, and recognizing something that exists in me that I had never felt before.

Find your own trails to haunt is a zine about the breakdown of a relationship and the muddling of communication, especially within the digital landscape and how that manifested in the physical landscape. It is meant to mirror the confusion felt during a time where I felt very hurt and was trying to re-center myself.
