Cracked Shells is a 24-page zine of prose poetry and ink drawings by Swiss-Greek artist Dimitra Charamandas. Moving along a Greek shoreline, the book meditates on fractures—of shells, bodies, landscapes, and language. Fragmented texts and sketchbook-like drawings trace small inlets, ruptures, and openings, where geology, migration, and vulnerability intersect. A quiet, tactile publication that situates observation and reflection at the edge of land and sea.
