Allergic to the Commute: "My Allergy Season" Illustrated Card

░ **Allergic to the Commute** ░ Rachel, 31, a diligent office worker. Her least favorite part of the day is the commute on her usual train. The mingled scents of sweat and saliva, strangely combined under the air conditioning. She often uses this time for meditation, believing this rigorous test trains her to remain unfazed by external environments. Yet, her meditation practice is frequently overcome by sleepiness and her reluctance to go to work. 🪴 **The "My Allergy Season" Illustrated Card Series** Allergies represent a state of perpetual adaptation, but even so, one must live with elegance! ✺ Specifications | 13 × 13 cm Bi-fold Card ✺ Material | 285 g Beer Cardstock ✺ Inner Pages | Full-color printing, digitally reproduced from hand-painted watercolors **The blank cover is yours to personalize.** Rachel's story is on the back. And the **two illustrated panels are tucked within the inner pages**; open the card to discover Rachel's allergens. 💐 **In My Allergy Season** As someone sensitive, I often feel out of sorts during allergy season, sometimes appearing disheveled. I tend to overreact to seemingly harmless, minor details, and moments where I recognize my own discomfort often exacerbate it, leading to a double dose of sensitivity. After finally accepting that this is simply my constitution, I began learning to navigate the ups and downs of allergy season, coexisting with it. I view this as a process of self-healing. This series features original watercolor illustrations by Min, an artist from Sunny Side Up Studio. Each of the eight girls lives with different allergens, exploring ways to coexist. The original hand-painted watercolors (16K size) were exhibited in a rotating show across three cafes in Taipei.
