Deep Freeze as a book

Being a no-name-author, a self-publisher, and a promoter all at once definitely brings its own kind of pressure but also offers a lot of freedom! This was my first experience in creating a book, and I am glad and thankful for every lesson and every mistake I gathered along the way.

After all it is so exciting - holding the physical book in your hands. After talking about it for so long, sharing glimpses of the illustrations, and participating in public talks about decolonial practices, seeing it as a tangible object is a very nice feeling. It’s a bit scary, too; as an artist, you always see all the details you’d like to improve, but I realize that chasing perfection would take another eternity.

One of the things I am most happy about is being able to share this with my family and relatives in Mongolia. This book is about our common ancestors, and I know there are many Buryat families who went through similar experiences.

Surprisingly, sharing my personal experiences hasn't felt awkward. Instead, it has given me strength and motivation. Because the narrative is built on real conversations, encounters with real people and shared history.

I printed a small run of my graphic essay, and it all sold out. I am accepting preorders for the next print run; drop me a line in the contact form below.
