A Tiny Existence is a collection of poetry, short stories, and photography written and taken by Lucia Maz, set alongside Draw Me a Bird illustrations from friends and loved ones.

The Draw Me a Bird project was conducted over the course of a few months where Lucia asked her friends and family to draw her a bird by hand and send or give it to her. A Tiny Existence is outpouring of love, angst, optimism, and raw energy, punctuated by a collection of birds.
