Our latest issue – Issue 4: Re(framing) Identity is available to preorder: Preorder Now
This issue is dedicated to tenderness, in any shape or form, which we may be fortunate enough to witness amidst the hard edges of our collective existence. It serves as a reminder of the importance of being gentle—not only with one another but also with ourselves. As we navigate the unknown and unknowable, amidst unresolved injustices and emerging crises, we pay homage to the moments that nourish our souls. By slowing down time in the unique way photography allows, this issue invites readers to pause and fully embrace our capacity for warmth, compassion, and love. Such glimpses transform bitterness and anger into a kinder resolve, unclenching fists and turning them toward a fiercer kind of love. They remind us of our ability to heal, forgive, understand, and ultimately choose unity over division. This issue celebrates the parts of humanity that are worth cherishing and fighting for.

James Lontoc is a photographer and writer based in Metro Manila, Philippines. His work is rooted in storytelling, blending diaristic images with reflective writing to explore themes of identity, family, and the quiet moments that shape our lives. For James, photography and writing are extensions of how he experiences the world—a way to process, reflect, and connect with others.
He is also a co-founder of Flint Photo Collective, where he collaborates with friends to create zines, exhibitions, and workshops that spark dialogue and foster community. James sees creativity not as a pursuit of perfection, but as a practice of staying curious, embracing the process, and sharing stories that matter.

Gevi Noviyanti is a documentary photographer working between Cirebon and Yogyakarta. Her work explores culture, society, and art with a strong focus on gender issues and marginalized communities. With a background in ethnomusicology, she often blends her passion for music with her visual storytelling.
Gevi’s work has been featured in initiatives such as Project Multatuli, Jakarta International Photo Festival, and residencies like the Qatar-Indonesia Photography Journey. Her project The Siren Sea was selected for projection at Angkor Photo Festival and NIDA Photography Symposium.
Beyond photography, she engages in filmmaking, research, and collaborative work with collectives like KUNCI and Tembi Music Forum. She sees her practice as a way of complementing historical narratives by highlighting often-overlooked subjects.
Piyi Poi-Ein Wong is a Malaysian multidisciplinary artist and photographer, based between Athens, Greece, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Born and raised in multicultural Kuala Lumpur, she graduated with honours from the London College of Printing, University of the Arts London, and has lived and worked in Greece for over 15 years, including time as a visiting artist at the Athens School of Fine Arts.
Her work is deeply influenced by her embrace of both Eastern and Western philosophies, particularly the Taoist concept of Ziran (自然) and Heraclitus’ Τα πάντα ρει (“everything flows”). Piyi is a keen visual observer drawn to humble aesthetics, stillness, and the ephemerality of existence. Since 2016, her ongoing photographic series in botanical portraiture has explored the natural state of being through quiet observation and the immediacy of the photographic medium. Her works have been exhibited at Fotagogos, Athens, and she also works extensively in interior photography.”
