subject: your zine

hello! 

this is jiaqi (editor in chief of sine theta) and i hope this isnt weird but i checked out your site after you emailed us and i looked through your whole zine and i just wanted to say i found it really beautiful. the photography was really nice and i really liked your use of the flash and how it makes the often mundane objects look like they are wreathed by solitude contemplating an uncertain future. i really identified with this abstract fear of the future its not terrifying but its a huge amount of discomfort lodged in your throat -- i am graduating high school this year and its the first time where i dont know where i'm gonna be in ten months and how my life is gonna be like -- i barely know what country im moving to -- freedom is so hard and i just want to stop time and be a little girl again but i also want to get out of here and i dont know how i feel because high school stress has rendered my emotions into a perpetual sludge of monotony and nothingness. i love your lists and your descriptions and your omissions. i would love a copy of your zine HOWEVER i have no money sorry as i am saving up for a summer trip that felt like a coming of age trip but as it gets closer it feels more and more empty and meaningless, and i also dont want a black and white copy because im really enchanted by the washed colors from the zine, so apologies

anyway your work is great and i hope wherever you are now you are doing well! i also cant wait to see what you submit to our mag (i guess i should say this is a personal message and does not guarantee a feature in sine theta ha ha h) 

best,

jiaqi
