a note from the editor
No
evidence is required in the mind of a surrealist,
because everything is possible.
When
we set our minds free from boundaries and
that which we are taught “makes sense”, we enter a land of endless colors, no rules and limitless combinations, where nothing “should” make sense, yet, all of it strangely does.
Unite
dream with reality.
Allow
the wall which is
reason to become a permeable membrane that our fragmented dreams float freely through and blend with reality.
It
is then that you will be surrounded
with limitless, colorful possibilities.
In this issue, themed the colorful mind of a surrealist, OPALUS engulfs you in pigment and juxtaposition with hopes to inspire and expand the color palletes of your mind.
How
many color palletes does your mind have?
Malorie Shmyr,
editor
