Flotsam & Jetsam
Issue 53
Feeling adrift? We understand. Today's world feels as if it's been turned upside down or torn asunder. Sit down with Flotsam & Jetsam to remember there are reminders all around us that beauty and art remain alive, even against a backdrop of despair. You'll find works by past NDR contributors Suphil Lee Park and Ace Boggess, while enjoying pieces by newcomers such as Amy Bagan, Andy Li, and Pitambar Naik.
Here is our web extra from the print edition, Suphil Lee Park's Weanlings.
