THE DRESS is an ongoing project that began in 2019. It’s pretty self-explanatory - each person is in the same dress, posed however they’d like, with the image composed in a similar fashion, all taken on the same camera. What’s come from this so far is a greater conversation about gender and identity as well as a snapshot of chapters in Malindi’s life through her friends. THE DRESS, Volume I, is the first print installment of the work, capturing the first 5 years of this portrait project. 42 color images, 52 pages total. Self published. Printed and bound at Edition One, Richmond, CA. Sold for $30.

Calico is Malindi’s first self-published edition made in 2018. The body of work focuses on the urban landscape with its angular patterns and natural collages. The book pinpoints the symmetries of manmade structures in contrast with the natural beauty of the nature that filters through the lines. Includes 52 pages, 42 black and white 35mm images, and 3 original poems. Self published, printed and perfect bound at Edition One, Richmond, CA. Sold for $30.

This is a very special project that was created to do as it implies. Some Sort of Closure centers around the end of a significant relationship in Malindi’s life. Including 46 pages filled with typewritten letters between, film photos of, and flowers exchanges between an ex-partner and her, this book hopes to make the severity of a breakup feel more relatable and reflective. Because of the generosity of SAAL Digital, this book is hard bound and sells for $40.
