Unamused

Operator

Photograph of Ania Catherine taken by Dejha Ti in Calistoga, California in 2017. During that year, Catherine and Ti had just started working on their ongoing feature film A page intentionally left blank, a nonlinear narrative inspired by the hidden lives of surrealist muses.

A Woman in the Mist

Ayla El-Moussa

A solitary female stands in a vibrant lush landscape, her expectant gaze fixed on the horizon, symbolizing our collective anticipation of the future. The world she surveys is an intriguing mix of clarity and obscurity, with a sky seamlessly merging the ocean's depth and the cloud's drift; is she waking from a dream?

The pervasive mist serves as a metaphor for an enigmatic yet undeniable future and the only way is forward.

The Grail

Craig Mullins

In plain view a cross is clear, with the center figure collapsing internally from spiritual malaise, as seen by the inward gestures of the whole body and shoulders and hands. This would be us, having lost a key idea or vitality, some version of a Grail. The base of the cross would be the Knight who found the Grail at great time and expense. All pretense of wealth or station is gone, perhaps this humility has allowed him to find the Grail at all. But certainly he is in contrast with the other Knights.

The screen left figure is the Pious. The other Knight is skeptical. The Pious has bowed deeply and submits to the truth of the Grail. The Skeptic is standing, at the ready, and is armed. He's not too sure about any of this.

Grails III

Tempelfjord

Reuben Wu

Expired Polaroid Time Zero photograph of my guide standing on the frozen ice of Tempelfjorden, Svalbard Archipelago, 2011.

Part of my first photo series of Svalbard, a trip that motivated me to dedicate my artistic practice to photography, as my time as a full-time musician drew to a close.
