  • food stuck in your teeth

    Placing the metro newspaper on the floor, he flopped his fat body on it and cradled the plastic pint glass between his legs. It was all a part of a daily routine that he had never felt the need to break. His nails were curling over his fingertips, but this added to the efficiency of…

  • Who Do I Write To If Its Not You

    We passed each other handwritten notes, even when sat beside each other at the dinner table. I preferred it this way because we never had to raise our voices. If there was any confusion, it was easier to throw the piece of paper away – or sometimes I would hide it in your food. In…

  • the juicy t

    The stench of yeast slicked back into your hair makes it harder for me to concentrate on your slurred words. It’s a rather disgusting sight to see someone you admire at their absolute dumbest, but perhaps I am the stupid one, unable to realise that this is probably the only sincere moment I will have…

  • fagbreak

    He hides between the bins for a moment and lights a fag. It’s raining, so the juices from the rubbish flow into the holes of his shoes. At this point, there’s no point in caring. The echoing of the clock gets louder in his head as he knows his cig break is close to being…

  • “I’M JUST SITTIN’ HERE”; painting an image of britain through its most honest storyteller [Dizzee Rascal] 

    Along the red brick walls of your local neighbourhood are children sitting bored out of their minds. Every place that could be a park is an industrial estate, the schools use car parks as a playground, and what kid has a toy? When every adult is working, the unsupervised world comes to ‘life’ – but…

  • TAINTED SPACE

    In my own attempts of creating familiarity, I find myself seeking comfort in place over anything else. But what I have come to realise is that by doing so, I have made my own world very small. The initial contact that is made with a place is free of memory, letting you project your fantasies…

  • TAKING OUT THE RUBBISH

    If you forget to take the bins out, you’ll see your waste piling up. Sometimes curiosity gets the best of you and you just start inspecting what’s in the bins. Maybe you notice that you ate a lot of frozen pizzas one week, and that’s slightly depressing, or that someone accidentally tossed a fork away.…

  • UNSATISFIED DESIRE

    Tantalus is a figure from Greek mythology, most well known for angering the gods and getting tortured in Tartarus. His punishment consisted of him standing in a small pool with a tree bearing fruit hanging over him. Whenever he reached for the fruit, the branches pulled away; whenever he bent down to drink water, the…

  • MASSIVE music zine / rave bible

    Some of the music zines from the 90s live on through web archives. My favourite of these is Massive, produced in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It documented and fed the rave scene in the midwest, with stories about local parties to interviews with disc jockeys (and whatever else they wished to share). Visually, it’s very telling of…

  • BOTTEGA VENETA ‘Reunion in Motion’ // LUNAR NEW YEAR CAMPAIGN

    The world often feels bigger than ourselves, but I find that in our travelling moments we are able to forget that. As I get a taxi, plane, train and walk home, I am awarded the liberty of undisturbed reflection. It is a route I have done many times, although I still get nervous, and I…
