introduction

art cannot be defined
 by a few lines of words or a few strokes of a brush. art can be self-expression, art can be communication,

art can be an attempt to change the world.

this zine will dedicate itself to the art that the youth creates; the people whose inspirations shine a light on the darkness of the world, who are determined to change the world or themselves - both of which are hard tasks to conquer; this zine will dedicate itself to art with meaning made by people who create meaning through art. this zine is the product of what we, as a powerful force, create, no matter what our own definitions of art may be.

i feel as though there must always be change.

there has been a lot going on in the past weeks. it feels like a roller coaster, almost, but one where you’re blindfolded. you feel the vehicle slowing down, and there is already this uneasy feeling in your chest, predicting what is about to come— and for a second, you regret having agreed to join this ride in the first place. you imagine how relaxed you would have been if you had just decided to watch it all from below. but then — then, you feel the wind against your face, and you can hear the joyous screams from behind, and your friend is laughing, and you feel yourself laugh, and it’s wonderful. and you have never felt more alive.
