Revisiting old favourites ~ A snapshot from 's photo essay, On the Pilgrimage Road.
"Looking for guidance, I went to Shikoku Island in Japan to follow in the footsteps of pilgrims who had for over a thousand years circled that strange place in search of answers to their spiritual suffering. And so, for 46 days, I peered at my own reflection through the lives of those I met on the road."
"As I was leaving his hut, I asked Monk Etsudo if I could take his picture and he immediately posed next to his dōjō’s sign." - Yolanta C. Siu

Meet the team behind the mag! Originally from Transylvania, Romania, Luana Suciu () is a designer and art director currently living in Singapore. Moving between 5 countries and 3 continents in the past 15 years, Luana has often found herself out of place, embracing a feeling of curiosity and adventure which fuels her creative work. When she’s not designing, Luana enjoys documenting her surroundings, and is always looking for the simple and unfamiliar to be captured on camera.

A snapshot by Yolanta C. Siu, who found herself searching for meaning in the unfamiliar on a temple pilgrimage to Japan. See the whole story in our new issue.
We started planning our Out of Place issue before the pandemic, and reading the magazine now, it seems to offer a necessary moment to pause and contemplate past travels, even (and especially) the uncomfortable moments. How have you been reflecting on your past journeys?
