KÓs mos

Introducing Magnum Kósmos. Meaning The Great Cosmos in Latin. This issue is a collection of personal essays, opinion pieces, editorials and deep dives into the phenomenon that is the culture of space. Our directors team came up with a concept for this issue that the team in its entirety could explore in their own way, bringing some of the best articles and editorials yet.

Uninterested, or not, in this concept, we all have a connection. This issue explores our own personal star signs and their meanings. When creating the concept for this issue I knew I wanted an editorial spread highlighting each sign’s vibe. It was important to me and the other directors that each photo was uniquely their own, just like the accompanying sign. Horoscopes and star signs were the main concept for this issue and discussed in many of the articles.

The overarching theme of this issue is to find yourself but don’t be afraid to live in that forever or be tied to anything permanently. modmuze strives to embrace everyone for who they are, even if you aren’t sure who you are yet.

This release was filled with many highs and lows for me personally. Struggling to manage everything and trying to live up to everyones expectations of you is tough. Mix that in with all of the emotions of being a senior and sudden - ly you feel like you can’t do anything right. Although, sitting here rereading all of the articles and seeing the amazing content produced is beyond inspiring. Being able to create something can be so magical, but it doesn’t come without challenges. My hope for anyone reading this issue is that they finish feeling inspired to be unapologetically themselves in every aspect of life. Magnum Kósmos is the universe as a whole, where you so perfectly matter.

Here’s to finding the magic in life.
