This micro zine playfully explores the concept of hidden and individualized vulnerabilities, inspired by the unique, critically endangered Wollumbin pouched frog with its rare parental pouch care, and the evolving, personalized approach to breast cancer screening. It combines odd illustrations of miniature frogs carrying invisible loads and visual metaphors for personal health risk, prompting reflection on how unseen factors shape survival and care. The zine’s intimate, tactile format emphasizes the small scale and specificity inherent in both species conservation and medical screening. It emerged from the notion that both nature and medicine reveal deeply personal, often obscure layers of risk and protection that defy one-size-fits-all thinking.
