TRANSFORMATION ISSUE 3

As seasons change, so does everything else on the planet. The air feels different, the earth colours become more vibrant and as people we seem to evolve just that little bit more.

We Transform - A marked change in form, nature, or appearance.

I have felt that with so many things changing in our world at dramatic speed at times, whether it be technology, politics , fashion or even attitudes to race , religion and sexuality, it is important that we allow ourselves to be open to change, not just within ourselves but also of others around us. We should always acknowledge we are a melting pot of curious individuals and within that there are cultures and communities all looking for a chance to be seen and heard!

For this Issue I wanted to explore a different side to what was safe or classed as the norm and to try to mix up creatively as many interesting stories and characters as visually possible. This one is about not being apologetic for being who we are but celebrating our differences. It is about accepting that with chaos there is also calm and with the bold there can also be the beautiful.

There are no right or wrongs there is just us.
