Dear Reader,
With the light slowly returning, March invites us to see the world with renewed curiosity. Art becomes a companion in this transition, connecting past and present, movement and meaning. Let this month’s selections guide you through narratives shaped by time, craftsmanship, and creative vision.
As I’ll be away and offline until March 3rd, I’m sending this edition a bit early—so you can enjoy it at your own pace while I’m away.
