This edition contains around 90 photographs, a few poems and a multitude of memories from that year. I dedicated half of the publication to my biggest project at the time, Schola Vitae, and filled the remaining pages with moments that simply deserved to exist somewhere between the pages.
This was the year of my final exams and the end of high school — the moment when I left one chapter of my life behind and stepped onto the path of student life. My 19th birthday was filled with new experiences, and I could feel my perspective slowly changing. My mind was beginning to open up to poetry, literature and other forms of visual art, and those influences naturally started finding their way into my photography.
By this point, photography had become more than a way of documenting the things I was interested in. I started looking for my own way of telling stories through images.
The third zine reflects a period in which I became increasingly interested in building a world around the photographs — through sequencing, rhythm, contrast and the physical form of the publication.
It is not a collection of my “best” photographs. It is a fragment of my archive and an attempt to show how I was seeing the world at that particular moment.
Looking back, this edition feels like a bridge between the person I had been and the person I was beginning to become. It captures the end of my teenage years and the beginning of a much wider world.
