ALICE DEVERILL AESTHETIC MOODBOARD

a kind of light spread out from her. and everything changed color. and the world opened out. and a day was good to awaken to. and there were no limits to anything. and the people of the world were good and handsome. and I was not afraid any more.

JINX FAWCETT AESTHETIC MOODBOARD

scientists have calculated that the chances of something so patently absurd actually existing are millions to one. but magicians have calculated that million-to-one chances crop up nine times out of ten.

KILLIAS WESTBROOK AESTHETIC MOODBOARD

all photographs are memento mori. to take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability. precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.

POPPY AUBREY AESTHETIC MOODBOARD

there's pathos in this familiar routine, in the sounds of homely objects touching surfaces. and in the little sigh she makes when she turns or slightly bends our unwieldy form. it's already clear to me how much of life is forgotten even as it happens. most of it. the unregarded present spooling away from us, the soft tumble of unremarkable thoughts, the long-neglected miracle of existence. when she's no longer twenty-eight and pregnant and beautiful, or even free, she won't remember the way she set down the spoon and the sound it made on slate, the frock she wore today, the touch of her sandal's thong between her toes, the summer's warmth, the white noise of the city beyond the house walls, a short burst of birdsong by a closed window. all gone, already.
