ABOUT THIS ISSUE:
A feeling which begins as some fascination, something quiet, deliberate, almost tender. Then it deepens, festers, and rewrites the self, the newer, the worse version. The feeling that almost blurs the line between devotion and decay, until wanting becomes a form of worship and surrender turns into self-erasure. It is the feeling of “Obsession” that is both the engine of creation and the ultimate seed of destruction, the thing that drives us to brilliance, and sometimes, to ruin.
This issue contains the work that lingers in that fevered state of mind where love becomes fixation, art becomes compulsion, and the self dissolves into what it desires. Obsession in these works is not excess feeling; it is precision. Issue 07 gathers works that do not seek resolution; they circle. They fixate. They stare too long. Within these pages, obsession appears as devotion and decay, as memory that will not release its grip, as bodies, ideas, and words trapped in their own relentless return.
