I chose the phrase “Two-Eyed Seeing” because it spoke directly to the heart of what this course has been about, bringing multiple ways of knowing into conversation, rather than placing one above the other. The concept, introduced by Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall, felt especially meaningful to me because it reflects a vision of learning that is not only inclusive, but relational. It encourages humility, mutual respect, and a willingness to see the world through more than just one lens. As I began to design the zine, I wanted the visual style to reflect the spirit of balance, relationship, and care embedded in this teaching.

That’s why I chose to work with earth tones, warm browns, soft greens, and grounded beiges. These colors represent land, roots, and living systems, and I wanted them to communicate a sense of connection to the natural world and Indigenous knowledge.

This creative process reminded me that how we share knowledge is just as important as what we share. It was an opportunity to practice what we’ve been learning all term: that education, when done with care and respect, can be relational, beautiful, and transformative. I appreciated the space this project gave me to be artistic and intentional, to slow down, reflect, and create something that aligns with my values.
