A collage artwork titled Mashed by Deborah Nash, featuring abstract potato-masher-like shapes over a pink, splattered background. A cutout note on a silver trash bin reads: “I saw you eat my cheese. Buy your own please.” Lettering spells “DEHSAN” in a curve to the left, and red strips lie in a circle at the bottom. The piece humorously explores everyday tension through bold visuals and sharp wit.

In this hauntingly beautiful piece, Salil Chaturvedi captures the quiet unraveling of the world in fog—bit by bit, the visible fades, and in the hush, something within is laid bare.

A minimalist poem by Salil Chaturvedi is superimposed over a misty landscape with faint silhouettes of palm trees and a fog-covered field. The poem describes the slow engulfing of a neighborhood by fog, erasing familiar structures until only the narrator remains—paradoxically erased yet revealed.

Title: A zuihitsu of strings Author: Oormila Vijayakrishnan Prahlad Excerpt: A lacquer table, gloss under fingertips. A raised stage with dark linen. A young woman smiles with her hand-held harp, its nine strings glistening. The room swells with the cadence of her pearly notes. Beneath the pendant lights-a vision of serenity. Description: A harp stands alone on a stage with a stool and music stand.

A visual poem by Nina Nazir with cut-out text on a pink background featuring white spirals and glitch-like text patterns on the right. The poem reads: “You were a love-thief. I adored you for the spell you cast and yet we were always lost, that is until the spell was broken.” The background has swirling circular patterns and fragmented text lines, giving a dreamy, chaotic feel.
