Each photo captures moments from global travels and encounters with diverse individuals, reflecting on the theme of belonging and identity. From bustling cityscapes to intimate portraits, the zine portrays the artist's exploration of their sense of place in the world. Through the lens of an outsider looking in, it explores the complexities of belonging and not belonging, highlighting how different environments and people shape personal identity. The use of RGB colors and black serves as a visual motif, representing both the artist's perspective and the diversity of experiences encountered. "I Do Not Belong to Nowhere, but Somewhere" invites viewers to contemplate their own connections to place and community, offering a visual narrative that bridges personal introspection with global exploration.
