It’s truly magical when the submissions we receive align with each other, reflecting a current state of being that we, the editors, feel so deeply. Unsurprisingly, the art we create often mirrors the many struggles of modern society, such as burnout, escapism, and economic unease. For our first publication of 2024, we have selected pieces that explore these themes through body horror, psychedelic surrealism, and sci-fi distortions to present familiar situations in unexpected ways.
