Name: Isalina, Buying Assistant
Her Pick: Shift Magazine Volume 1 by Leslie Cheng, $24
Isalina Says: "There is something precious about holding a small zine in your hands that is wholly satisfying to me. Turning through Shift is a personal and tactile experience, like navigating the private world of artists and writers with your two hands. Some type of boundless energy comes out of this collaboration work, with only the loose concept of Time to unite them. A publication exploring moments in transition, Shift vol. 1 breathes with experimentation, play, and thoughtful meditation. I would send this zine to my old friend and fellow artist in Japan, as inspiration for us to bond over, for our own creative work and future projects."
