Othala's Blueprint:
A print publication that questions and dissects the sentiment behind objects that which may otherwise be dismissed as frivolous or temporary. (Much like print as a medium).
'Othala' is a place to share stories about momentous people told through sentimental objects. Its aim is to correlate positive representations of people with items in their life, in an effort to further share the power of kindness, gentleness, strength and potency.

Issue One
Currently available for pre-order, Othala's limited edition first issue explores the themes of identity, consumption and nostalgia. Articles include 'Point of View of a Debit Card on Student Loan Day,' as well as 'Me, Myself & My Awkward Teenage Phase' where I rather embarrassingly discuss that time I rocked Rockports, a canary yellow Berghaus and a gold coin ring my clicked-and-collected from Argos...

| Story and process The impetus for this print publication is twofold: (1) My love for tangible experiences, and (2) an interest in questioning the Western world's obsession with overconsumption. The entire publication has been designed, written and photographed by me, Bekki Ramsay. I make no profit on this side project but instead an inner happiness of making people question their consumption habits. | |
