Where words meet the lens. Dive into the beautifully curated pages of ‘39 is 0’ by Mardini Dyah Astuti. A harmonious blend of evocative poetry and stunning photography that invites you to pause and reflect.

This is an introspective photo book that blends evocative photography with poignant poetry, guiding readers on a profound journey inward. More than just a collection of images and words, it is an invitation to dive deep beneath the surface and courageously meet the self that resides within.


Through the symbolic lens of oracle cards, storytelling photographs, and verses born of raw honesty, the book maps a deeply personal pilgrimage. It explores the universal experience of uncovering identity at a pivotal stage in life, acknowledging that the path to self -discovery has no expiration date.


It is a visual and lyrical narrative about peeling back the layers we accumulate over time — a tender process of healing the inner child and confronting past trauma. This journey, both vulnerable and empowering, leads to a powerful destination: the rediscovery and embrace of one's authentic, whole, and true self.
