Inspired by Jonas Mekas’s reflection “if I spend at least three days in one place I start to take root”, this zine explores moments of growth despite constraint. Take Root uses Mekas’s ethos as a lens to view the shifting of seasons in the city and includes a compilation of photographs. The zine acts as a montage of diaristic witnessing in this urban landscape from peeks inside overlooked construction zones to instances of nature breaching its bounds.
