For my zine, i decided on the theme of Metamorphosis,

with the butterfly as my motif.

I wanted to capture the idea of Mental Metamorphosis with

my zine, for the zine to transform and change as the viewer read it.

I planned my zine as an experience rather than just a simple

publication, to allow the viewer to feel. For that, i decided to split my zine into

2 parts, a white part that serves as the core, and a black part

that serves as the cocoon.

I did some research into brain functions, Xrays and MRI Scans, as well as searching

for words that ended in -sis, to make my zine more consistent and thematic.
