It is not just a game. (2023)

A zine that captures the London Olympic park and highlights the consequences of past and ongoing gentrification.

In response to a brief about capturing ‘Beautiful Errors’ using photography, I zoned in on gentrification as I found it was a perfect example of this juxtaposition: in making a place look more stereotypically ‘beautiful’ there are negative consequences and potentially thoughtless decisions.

The primary image for my zine, forms the front and back cover. The small English flag serves as a reminder that gentrification is embedded in colonisation. The flag sits on the back page, hard to initially spot but clear when you notice it, much like colonialism.
