WORLDS WITHIN WORLDS

Issue 009

April 2025 | Editor in Chief Annika Ferguson, Creative Director Lydia Masset

Everything exists before us; blank and unplanned and unbearably daunting, yet still, within each of these blank and unplanned universes, sporadic scattered ideas pepper the blankness. Infinite possibility, heart, spark, the glowing draw of creation. Realms touched, untouched, broken and split apart, we’re exploring the deepest crevices of our perceptions and realities to expose our Worlds Within Worlds.

We peeled back the intricate layers of life — the mundane, the taboo, the childlike, to create worlds fostering belonging, resonance, and a sense of home.

Placed smack in the middle of our “somewheres” and “nowheres”, Issue 009 projects pay homage to each tiny universe that lives within their respective titles. “Serenade Of” grounds in nature, simplicity, and awareness to juxtapose a presently technology-centric world. “Eau de Parfum” throws us into the sensual, passionate, explorative worlds of fragrance ads and the fantasies they can allow for. “Secret Gardens” places emphasis on our unique, intrinsic worlds of inner peace and solace. An ode to the existences created within the mind.

This issue opens the door to explore any world you can imagine.

Issue 009 exec fostered community, growth, and above all, unbound creativity within each of their respective teams and disciplines. Each team has a vital role in keeping the ecosystem of this mag positive, challenging, and passionate.
