Oliva Rodrigo’s debut album Sour has served as the soundtrack for heartbreak since it’s release. Sour, which broke the global Spotify record for the biggest opening week for an album by a female artist, probes pop punk textures in juxtaposition with poignant ballads.Rodrigo, who wrote 'Sour ' alongside producer Dan Nigro, has been praised with critical acclaim for her lyricism which illustrates an accurate portrait of adolescent female emotions. The album’s striking appeal stems from Rodrigo’s vulnerability as she explores emotions such as anger, jealousy, and unhappiness. However, many critics have overlooked the racial undertones that characterize Sour. Rodrigo, who is of Filapina descent, transgresses traditional representation of Asian Women. Portrayals of Asian women in American media are often subjected to two distinct categories: “Dragon Ladies' ' and “Lotus Blossoms”. The term “Dragon Lady”, first coined by cartoonist Milton Caniff, is the stereoptical portrayal of East Asain Women who are opportunistic sexual beings or predatory gold diggers. In direct contrast, “Lotus Blossoms'' depicts Asian women as shy, virginal, passive, and subservient figures that exist to serve white men. Stereotypes of this type function to sustain the binary image of Asians as the yellow peril or the model minority which sequentially function to exclude Asians from white American Society. However, through Olivo Rodrigo’s autonomous storytelling Sour subverts the stereotypical archetype of the Lotus Blossom that is prevalent in Western narratives. Read more on our website

On any given weeknight comedic hopefuls herd themselves into dive bars, grasping at worn-out notebooks filled with graceless setups and banal tags. One by one they stand on a small stage and give heart-rendering speeches. Some are salacious, some are sagacious, others are simply crude. Most of these acts go unobserved as the audience, who consist of other comedians, croon over their own jokes.

Arash Tadjiki, perhaps the most brilliant of the bunch, can frequently be spotted at an open mic huddled over his black notebook methodically writing jokes. With his handsome demeanor and strident laugh, it is difficult for Arash to be inconspicuous in any setting. However, it is his cadence and natural charm constructed together that make him compelling. Whereas many locals have situated themselves as callow comedians, Arash’s act strings together narratives that serve as an introspective look at American culture and his experience as a first-generation immigrant. Many of his anecdotes muster a modest amount of vulnerability that in turn invokes approachability. In a certain sense, he crafts his jokes with a pinch of poeticism, though they skirt around ribaldry. His contentions are often met with roaring laughter from audiences and praise which he shrugs off in a lowly fashion. With the combination of these characteristics, it is evident that Arash will reach stardom and notability. Meanwhile, Arash spared some time to sit down with Salt Lily Magazine to discuss comedy, joke writing, and performing.

Lily Ann Ellingson’s art rejuvenates sensibilities borrowed from Pop Art. Her deep pastel colors and black outlines add to the genre’s rich oeuvre. Lily has yearned for artistry from a young age and began her exploits as a dancer. In her early teens she pivoted to visual art. Recently she graduated from the University of Utah with a BA in studio art with an emphasis in drawing. Inspiration gained from various life experiences such as traveling to new lands, and the loss of a relationship are at the heart of Lily’s work. Her pieces contain a bleeding sense of vulnerability that can only be attributed to a master artist.

A few months ago Lily graced Salt Lily Magazine with her presence and shared with us her process and inspirations. Read more on our website!
