WORLD OF

DARKNESS Reality bites, or at least it does with these edgy works—so handle with caution!

Ever wonder what it’d be like to have your fears literally drawn all over your face?

LOVE

Love is what makes the world go round and this lovey-dovey group certainly explores that to its fullest. Whether it’s the love of a father for his somewhat a lover once spurned, or the misplaced lust of a small bird for a shuttlecock, this category takes us through a rollercoaster of the highs, and lows, that accompany that magical thing called love.

WORLD OF

SURREAL

Ever wonder what it would feel like to fall forever? To exist in a room with no exits?

To become what you eat? These hypnotic visions aim to push the boundaries of what is possible, and in turn, push our limits as to what we believe to be real or an illusion of the mind.
