Germaine, Sarah, Shui, and Joel made this fictional story together. One MRT scene happens– an old man plays his music loudly on the train. It annoys everyone inside, but a real question is why is he even playing the music so loudly?
Initially called Pain Pie, this zine was thinking around the idea that everyone was carrying pain of some sort, and their pain would be similar to some people, but different from others. Later, we developed short stories to give a backstory to the different characters. Each artist had their individual expressions of the characters and our meetings were to discuss more lore around the stereotype of each character.
Fun fact, the group has never met physically with all four members. The closest was three members, when Germaine was back for her sister’s wedding, but during that meeting was the night before Joel’s wife gave birth.
