A love letter to my younger self, featuring my personal kandi collection from raves and dance music events that I attended in my youth. Not only was I able to remember and process those formative years, I also hope that the book gives a glimpse into rave culture in the late aughts/early 2010s.

Featuring a written piece by my dear friend Joyce Peng who was raving with me from the beginning.

This book was created for and debuted at the Seattle Art Book Fair in 2023.
