November 2020: Dimensionality

“Love just seems to make life not just livable, but a gallant, gallant event.”
— Toni Morrison
Not only love but also writing, photography, and art — the act of creating makes life extraordinary. And just as extraordinary is our member's abilities to create something so beautiful in these times of strife. To emerge radiant from the ashes? — the proof of our ascension is here. 
szns
Writing by Marshall
This heartfelt poem is about the gradual shifts of a falling relationship. Grab some tissues. 

Stay With Me
Art by Aries Ho
It's hard to portray humanity in a drawing but the  expression here is captivating, brimming with delicate and meaningful emotion. Look at the life that's in those eyes. 
​
Summer
Art by Mckenna Adams
This is the artist's experimentation with complementary colors! You can taste the summer on your tongue. Let's have a picnic sometime soon.

Rainy Day
Photograph by Aries Ho
This dreary photograph from a New York subway somehow captivates the allure of a neon night. 
Bubbly Rust and Mist
Poem by Yume Igarashi
This lurching, stumbling poem addresses paradoxes of inner turmoil.

Hope Collection 
Photograph Collection by  Grace Ye
[blurb of photograph collection]
​Even though this photography collection is titled "hope," it emanates contentment that borders on melancholy. Hope is hard to find between shadows. But this collection showed that it is possible.

Wildflowers and Frozen
Poem by Dalia Levanon
A  powerful poem about the weird dimensionality that online classes — specifically zoom — offers us this year.

Binu
Art by Aries Ho
A creative yet minimalistic interpretation of BIBI's Binu art! The smile is enigmatic but charming, what is behind that mind?

夜
​Art by Yume Igarashi
A breathtaking rendering of the Manhattan cityscape — note the Freedom tower  in the corner.

The Awaited Breath

Poem by Grace Ye
It has been too long for many people. Staying in to protect themselves against Coronavirus.  "​It has already been long enough." This is as relatable as it can get. 

Trust in Us
Poem by Grace Ye
People are fed up with injustices and want to take it into their own hands to change the system.  Listen to this warrior poem: "Bullets of rubber, bombs of tears, silent lips / against cries for justice."

This summer has definitely been one to remember. With quarantine, you might need something to quench your thirst for reading material! Well, have no fear because we have plenty for you! Scroll through the beautiful drawings and read our creative pieces for the ultimate indoor experience!

mind & heart
Sophie Zhang
A cartoon that shows the differing personalities in all of us! The confident extrovert versus the tired introvert. 


Words of a Dream
Yume Igarashi
“Laughter is timeless, Imagination has no age.” This is a powerful reminder that we should all, like Walt Disney, let our imagination run wild and create something beautiful. 

Jiahe Wang 
Our worst nightmare reimagined and made tangible, this drawing is pertinent especially now in quarantine. Ghostly and scary and heart-stopping — her eyes will haunt you for days. 


An emblem
Yume Igarashi
This will make you nostalgic for Stuyvesant — broken escalators and all! The title is fitting for Stuyvesant truly is an emblem. 


​Purple Hydrangeas
Red Carnation
Read this emotional yet sophisticated description of simple things in nature. In a sense, the relatability adds to the meaning as we all question ourselves on why we feel so empty.

Absence
Jessica Jiang
Read this heart-wrenching poem. If you've ever lost anyone, it'll hit a very special note. The creative way of arranging the words adds to the depth of this lovely piece.

This month's collection of wonderful short stories and poems keeps it real and small by focusing on the small moments between humans, animals and nature and how we can find ourselves within them. Its useful to pause, take a deep breath and look at the small picture sometimes- especially when there is a lot of chaos and stress around us. Please enjoy and I hope you all are doing well!

We haven't posted in quite a while but I hope we can make it up to you with all the lovely pieces we have for this issue. The writing on each of these pieces is so touching and hauntingly beautiful and our artists/photographers have all done a great job! Also this was our first issue where we had our vice presidents help out with the layout so I'd like to thank them for their work!
