Jerry:
For the past few years, I've been working in the film industry while continuously participating in the Macao Queer Film Festival and quietly pursuing my own photography. Feeling a deep lack of such zines in Macau, I decided to create a paper-based work of our own.

Wilson:
Meanwhile, I've been documenting the stories of LGBTQ+ individuals in Hong Kong and Macau by publishing zines and comics in the UK. When Jerry shared this project with me, we realized our creative philosophies aligned – we both wanted to fill the void in Macau's queer community.

Jerry ✶ Wilson:
Initially, we just wanted to create a "social zine," interviewing a few queer friends willing to share openly. Unexpectedly, everyone naturally recounted their journeys of becoming queer during our conversations.

Ultimately, this zine combines interviews, photography, and illustrations, collectively portraying the unique queer worlds and colors of each model.

We hope this zine will let queer friends in Macau know: you are not alone.
