Issue 14 is a testament to the reason why Portrait has been, is, and will continue to
be a home for so many of our members. This follows through the bittersweet fact
that our members come and go every year, our community shifting and becoming
new with every semester. This evolving nature intertwines with its constant and never-ending spirit, creating what we know as Portrait, always present and persevering
throughout its different communities.
With that being said, I’m proud to share that our theme for this issue is an exploration of the term spirit. Our Portrait family has creatively endeavored for the past few
months by grappling with the term, engaging with the concepts and reflections of
what it means for them. I’m so lucky to have seen this in action, and so grateful to be
presenting you with the evolution of these conversations and their creative expressions.
