ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

ACWKNOWLEDGEMENTS

To the contributors, for sharing your worlds—ones that overflow with passion and talent. Your effort has not gone to waste. As collision demands, a new realm is born because of you. From nothing, you’ve all created something meant to exist within these pages, infinitely. To the Kapawers, for your passion that has made this folio what it is. Fate has made me lucky enough to come across your paths and share my heart with you. Your trust, patience, and perseverance are unlike any other. You have made this journey worth the weight of existence. Now, pieces of you will forever be a part of this map to home. Thank you for every glimpse of darkness you’ve shown and for every planet you’ve made out of it. May you continue to live out your passions and discover the secrets of the universe, just like you taught me. To Ms. Rhiznan Faith D. Fernandez, for your earthly guidance. Thank you for always being the biggest supporter. You have been the axis in our sphere of organized chaos. Without you, this world would have spun on a completely different angle.

To Chelsea Anne A. Rallos, for your unconditional effort to build a better world within these pages. Your cooperation and patience goes beyond this earth. For every globe, there is a map and for every map, there is a maker. You’ve sketched through every piece of land I’ve chosen and with your talents, all is in place.

To Joseph Bryant J. de los Santos, for understanding my vision and bringing it to life. You are proof that art is a living metaphor of cosmos—a timeless admiration. As a billion thoughts ran through my head, you took every piece and collided them into its very own atlas, showing the smaller details through the bigger picture. Thank you for the time and effort you put into every stroke.

To Ryan A. Rodriguez and Kim T. Diaz, for your endless effort to make the pieces in this folio as beautiful as they can be. You two have shared with me your unique artistry, precision, and most of all, passion. I appreciate every second you spent offering your critical minds. I am thankful for this collision and the grand world it created. None of this would be the same without you.

To the creatives team, for giving birth to new realms within these pages. You’ve crashed into the brightest of pieces and made a universe out every one. Your art goes beyond every expectation. Thank you for showing us that we truly are the creators of our worlds, not just the carriers. To our friends and family, for your neverending support. For carrying the weight of the world with us. Thank you for believing in us and sticking with us even in moments where the earth feels like crumbling down. You have been more than we have ever expected and for that, we thank you.

To Kathleen Joy C. Aruta, for trusting me to continue your legacy. Thank you for guiding me through every first step and sharing with me your knowledge and passion. Though the unexpected surfaced, you gave your patience and for that, I am forever grateful. You once told me that everything happens for a reason; you were right. I then realized the universe isn’t the only one that could make me believe in fate —and in me. You have truly left a mark on me and the literary team, always.
