Julia Merican is a writer and researcher from Kuala Lumpur. She often finds herself thinking about the allure of transitory or ruined spaces, writing that trickles outside of generic boundaries, and unlikely spaces of reconciliation. Her work has appeared in the pages of several print magazines and various online publications, and once (quite excitingly) on the walls of an art gallery. She writes about art, design, film, literature, and little things that are less easy to define, like letters found in secondhand books, or how sunlight falls onto brick walls.
