Blue and Letters for the Ocean are visual journal spreads that were meditatively crafted on the island of Oahu circa 2021, during a pandemic and in the starting phases of legally changing my first name to my birth name.

These pages are from a junk journal that was repurposed from a discarded photo album, its pages digitized and edited to look aged, weathered, and rustic from time’s humbling spells. 

The mixed media originates from old-fashioned snail-mail exchanges sent by dear penpals from all over the world. Other ephemera come from local thrift stores and offbeat places.
