VIVA LA MODA! VIVA LA MODA! VIVA LA MODA!


Why is water so enchanting? We are all magnetized by water not only because we need it to survive but because there is a pull we get when we are around it. This pull allows us to dream and puts us in a state of piece. This issue depicts the magnetic pull and focuses on the piece it brings to us; the piece that only exists through the self devotion and beauty of ART. How many times do we close our eyes and dream of the ocean? Do we not get into a coma of piece? For that split second are we not content? Water is crucial to our existence and an inspiration to us all. We cannot live with out it and we would not have it any other way. Allow this issue to take you into a coma of piece and allow the artists to show you that magnetic power of the “all mighty” ocean. VIVA LA MODA!
