Vanity + Space: A Short Exploration
With this risograph printed zine, I set out to critique how two seemingly unrelated topics, vanity and space, are actually deeply intertwined in both historic as well as contemporary contexts. How exactly has humanity managed to show its vainness through man’s exploration and conceptualization of the the cosmos? Who knows where our investigation of the universe will take us next, but no matter what the future holds for us in space, it’s necessary to acknowledge our species’ narcissism and understand the true reasons behind our obsession with what lies beyond our world.
