Abstract: 

Comfort Blanket is a multimedia zine celebrating radical joy in the information age. Rooted in personal experiences of grief, caregiving, and resilience, the zine transforms a list of favorite things into a creative tapestry of photography, graphic design, illustration, and analog mediums. Through art and personal narratives, this project reflects on the power of gratitude and creativity to find stability and joy even during life’s most challenging moments. By combining the whimsical and the meaningful, Comfort Blanket invites readers to explore how small, cherished moments can create profound emotional connections in a chaotic world.
