Whether it be images of undying, everlasting love or social commentaries on the vices of the capitalist man, we’re looking for anything and everything in between for this issue. Feel free to submit anything that stems from your imagination—any creative work you think we may enjoy.
Though unthemed, we wish to see works that share any connections with our core values of social justice and cross-cultural dialogue. Works that are powerful, compelling, and out-of-the-ordinary are exactly what we're searching for in compiling our fifth issue.
We wish to see works that embody creativity, with daring and experimental elements threaded into them.
