A massive, coffee table–style book composed with industrial staple accents and filled with 136 high-quality 257mm x 364mm pages. Featuring a surplus of photography, articles, illustrations, poems, and interviews, it also invites interactive reflection through unique activity spaces and coloring pages. With work submitted by creatives from all over the world, this issue embodies mindfulness, materiality, and multi-purpose creativity. The featured artists reconnect with their intentionality, using both physical and psychological tools to show that stripping down one’s process can lead to more meaningful and intricate work. Through these pages, we invite you to be inspired by the rawness of both the material and the design—to consider what you can create with the basics, how to find meaning in the mundane, and what remains essential when all excess is stripped away.
