The Tortured Romantic is an exploration of connection and contradiction, told through the lens of an investigator unraveling the story of someone who is both a mirror and a facade. Blending fiction, memory, and music, this zine dives into the shadows of longing, the weight of unfinished stories, and the delicate art of transformation. It’s a creative project about what we find when we follow the threads of others—and what we uncover about ourselves along the way.
