Our theme for this issue, looking glass, asked our contributors to reflect on moments that are imbued with both familiar and unfamiliar qualities—an observation, experience, narrative, or perspective that involves inverted facets and dimensions.
The responses were, simply put, incredible. In a way, they embodied the very spirit of Portrait: fearless, provocative, raw, whimsical, and above all else, indicative of home. A safe space of creativity, exploration, and growth. A medium to showcase and embrace the voices of our Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander artists.
