Packing by absorbingblue

Packing is a zine presented as a pseudo-manual that captures the emotions of a child moving abroad, inspired by the artist’s own journey from Myanmar to Singapore. Printed on double-sided A3 and folded into A6 pages, the front presents a “manual” of migration, while the unfolded reverse reveals a collage of memories left behind. The folding format mirrors the act of packing, both literal and emotional, reflecting the unease, uncertainty, and quiet hope that accompany leaving home for a new life.
