This piece is about how imagination can appear anytime, like when I'm doing homework - Joanna Chu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/3949cf43-2964-4a72-90d0-fe0e120932e9/the+peering+woman.jpeg Issue III "The Peering Woman": “The Peering Woman” features an innocuous glance from a mysterious woman, with a dramatic Hollywood lighting. I wanted to capture the moment when someone turns their head, and the curiosity that simple glance can give. A snapshot in time. A momentary look. The beauty of the work comes from the ambiguity and short lived nature when you lock eyes with someone - Cathy Gao https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/045f1584-59a4-4468-995a-110f2baeab34/humanoid+14+x+11.jpg Issue III "Humanoid": The human face was drawn with colored pencils and the background was painted with acrylic paint on top of a magazine collage.

My piece is about an existential crisis relating to identity - Joanna Chu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/58855e20-559b-42c4-a756-606b10721567/IMG_2992.jpg Issue III "Afternoon": Sometimes we find peace in the simple things. The three monks in Afternoon are shown strolling through the streets of Tibet, capturing the subtle harmony between the buildings and the mountains and trees, between man and nature - April Gong https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/bb458956-4b58-498d-afd3-ee8907ca79ed/IMG_0137.PNG Issue III "Overthinking": It's a digital piece and took around five hours. The painting is a representation of how many people, including me, tend to overly worry about matters that has left their hands already. What is beyond the glass cannot be changed by your shouts and screams---it ends up suffocating you instead - Jia Lee https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/over-and-over-and-over monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/goodbye monthly 0.5 2022-06-22 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/calls monthly 0.5 2022-06-22 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/violin monthly 0.5 2022-06-22 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/they-say-you-matter monthly 0.5 2022-06-22 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/grandmother monthly 0.5 2022-06-22 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/childhood monthly 0.5 2022-06-22 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/rose monthly 0.5 2022-06-22 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/the-kid-in-me monthly 0.5 2022-06-22 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/april-showers monthly 0.5 2022-06-22 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/dumplinglies monthly 0.5 2022-06-22 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/floriography monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/unstartledandfurious monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/canthelpmyself monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/to-write-for-yourself monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/no-tears-in-spring monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/of-forests-and-fantasies monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/three-years-time monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/dancing-girl monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/my-choice-or-yours monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/awareness monthly 0.5 2022-07-07 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iii/legacy-ends-here monthly 0.5 2022-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv daily 0.75 2025-07-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/eb5efb9b-cace-4ae3-9d37-c93829b19727/Little+House+in+the+Woods.jpg Issue IV "Little House in the Woods" - Helen Hoang Once upon a time, somewhere in the middle of the woods lies a little house, made of a lotus flower, a symbol of peace and tranquility. Smoke comes out of the petal chimney. The house seems warm and cozy. But who lives there? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/7508c06f-75ab-4472-bd73-d3cd775a1362/my+world.png Issue IV "My World" - Ryan Nguyen This piece was done digitally in photoshop. It captures our ability as we progress into the future, to seemingly create anything we desire. Whatever lives in our imagination can be a reality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/b1dd06f4-35f6-4394-a020-695ca5037c56/IMG_1159.PNG Issue IV "Head in the Clouds" - Samantha St. Clair This piece, made in procreate, is supposed to illustrate how people daydream about fantasies in their head. I was inspired by 8-bit style games--shown through the clouds. I hope this piece resonates with people who fall into their imagination. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/7bbe0c01-86b7-4aeb-8ca0-80d0c9cd1839/Lighthouse+Issue+IV+-+Generations.png Issue IV "Generations" - Reva Raul This was an assignment for my art class, I mixed deer with trees and the four seasons (spring and winter specifically) to create a metaphor about the passing of generations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/eb555254-1504-4552-bab8-86070cb50108/6+-+Family+Stories.JPEG Issue IV "Family Stories" - Helen Hoang This watercolor painting depicts the telling of family stories across three generations, conveying the warm, heartfelt emotions that arise in these moments. There is visible connection and bond between these people as their family stories are passed down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/5ed0bf9d-bbfa-465b-8cea-6f5380f87c02/Isabella+Burns+-+Hyacinths.jpg Issue IV "Hyacinth" - Isabella Burns This digital piece is inspired by the myth of Apollo and Hyacinthus. I hoped to show how tragedy can create beauty. https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/calling monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/a-poem-about-nothing monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/6p0wxbigazzfrj9hn3rttlxcrjs743 monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/zeykut3836m9d2a1iwlqdsa6v6o0er monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/eqomv27lekk7mmsbai9j223zmaatjb monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/hf8l7vb2mokv5wd2w900aogrcjpow2 monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/ud32sb2wtnuj0j9b6v3y7g6w3arymn monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/a881if4ub3i2bzgpyyzd1bvkzshooa monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/mcrmgfivroykc6ibv6885a4najo8u1 monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/7ux1eddrw9n5hjteco2lckc8wwrfaq monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/n491gn3audtcm0sml4r2ccm09x59wq monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/w6388upae9wfqbyi0v71cgrxcknhcc monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/4x0tafuwe0c38bfmik3gvnzoy09nyj monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/4odexu8pznuebfpxptxfcuo6khv3ol monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/txfro4vmxmlqkx2ah9x0f5zd6x9uon monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/fdrauetgm2c387fv0jyosqm7x7gzhk monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/zipwgzmqq5g7a82819e8dhhv5asaz4 monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/1c611wmr4jru4tphrtlu5d3onw0w7l monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/03pby434ohlm0v01vikw04lcajtgrs monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/bzjozc954tlhbmiqrw9zcjprclw7v5 monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv/53gm2lys2pt62skr8gqk68r876imxd monthly 0.5 2024-07-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v daily 0.75 2025-07-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/30d26ee1-521f-4a1e-8915-6cce74cc9562/Batman-Garrett+Ball.jpeg Issue V "Batman" - Garrett Ball What inspired me to create this piece is my love for cars and my dislike for acrylic paint. I wanted to overcome struggles that I’ve had with the acrylic medium in the past and make detailed and complex work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/8ee92a15-f177-48ee-9b6c-ba30017f826b/Faith.jpg Issue V "Faith" - Isabella Burns Inspired by the vanitas style of paintings, I wanted to explore the certainty of death, even in the most faithful and devoted. Our comforts are nothing but that - comforts. In the end, we all meet the same fate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/04004392-f155-46ef-a4f7-1327c50e1141/IMG_3537.jpg Issue V "Atlantic Mackerel (A Blue Roof)" - Anna Kim When I was doing my new year's cleaning, I wanted to reuse my old calendar and ripped out a print of Paul Gauguin's A Blue Roof and glued pieces together to create my collage. I picked Atlantic Mackerel as my subject because I eat it with my family when I go to my grandparents' house during the holidays. Even though the subject matter may seem simple, the people and story behind it made the art special; it mirrors the treasured memories I made with my family in 2024. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/8bae43fb-02e3-40d9-83a2-91c8e34e621e/It%27s+worth+it+-+Isabel+Jung.jpg Issue V "It's worth it" - Isabel Jung My passion for painting and my ability to capture a moment on canvas came to life in this acrylic piece. Hiking through Arches National Park at a young age taught me that no matter how exhausting or challenging the journey, the final view is always worth it. Without regret, every step of the process proves meaningful. Whenever I face difficulties in my own journey, I remind myself not to feel discouraged because I know the effort will pay off in the end. I hope my painting serves as a reminder that the view at the finish line will always be worth the hard work. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/c2b141cd-3ecd-49d2-bc71-08684bd85c2c/Pattern-Serious+Work_3+%E1%84%87%E1%85%A9%E1%86%A8%E1%84%89%E1%85%A1%E1%84%87%E1%85%A9%E1%86%AB+2.jpg Issue V "Emotional Spectrum" - Emilia Park Through a diverse pool of vivid colors and patterns, this piece expresses many different emotions one experience as an artist. It sometimes feels as if there are limitless ideas inside your head and it feels overwhelming to organize and accommodate them into a single work. However, once you start to combine these ideas and witness them transform into a magnificent art piece, you feel ecstatic and wonderful. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/04950021-c5bf-47af-b2c1-8b7d2be8667d/Springtime+Scenery.jpg Issue V "Springtime Scenery" - Helen Hoang A traditional Asian painting captures a natural landscape of tress, waterfalls, flowing river streams, and flowers, conveying the feeling of warmth and fresh beginnings as spring starts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/f7ea6279-593d-48e0-bd89-dae81b97c8c7/IMG_0552.jpeg Issue V "Innocence" - Raeca Agatha Paler Innocence is about the times when things were simpler and we weren't so anxious, so scared, or so frustrated with everything. I was going through a bad time with myself so I tried venting using art. I love using digital art to express myself but for once I just wanted to be calm, so I did just that.

Strong wiled and constantly persevering. This is my take on her in the midst of battle. Down on the grown but not giving up. https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/a-poets-curse monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/after-the-storm monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/r3m8umqywapnptbkr3pia8t8i7k3i9 monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/little-carp monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/a-book monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/e3vasz9x8qeqd03wmzg988nguc8vmf monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/joanna-9c3sp monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/venom monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/silent monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/letter-to-a-band-kid-sdffn monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/the-storm-y4pjt monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/little-plastic-stars-8bsf6 monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/waimanalo-beach-r6bf7 monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/introspection-lnc5a monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/pluto-xpepd monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/dear-nobody-pf3l3 monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/happy-birthday-69mka monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-v/the-quiet-tide-9p2dh monthly 0.5 2025-07-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-vi daily 0.75 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1 daily 0.75 2026-08-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/584f7987-3c5f-4bd9-a0a9-3265eeadbe6c/IMG_3672.jpeg Issue VI "Deafening Silence" - A.R. This piece is meant to be a social commentary open to interpretation and meant to showcase the influence of media and others upon our opinions of the political, social, and economical state of the world. I originally got this idea when seeing the protests outside school and the kind of emotion I felt partaking in it. It felt like a fire of our generation and a sort of frustration that I want to express to anyone that will read. I hope you truly do put your device down and consider who you are on this earth and what a vast change you can make. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/98c1b1e1-066b-4632-a949-6c4a254a4132/Chinese+Food+Mandala.png Issue VI "Chinese Food Mandala" - Caroline Hou Mandalas play a significant role in Buddhist traditions and culture. They originated in India before spreading to East Asia due to cultural exchange. Traditionally, mandalas serve as spiritual and sacred tools for meditation, focus, and healing. Today, they're created by people all around the world, whether for their religious importance or for their aesthetically pleasing beauty. For this piece, I wanted to create an unexpected mandala in the form of a porcelain plate of Chinese food. When one thinks of mandalas, the first thing that will come in mind is an intricate flowery pattern. However, mandalas aren't limited to only representing sacred or floral symbols; harmony and peace can exist in daily life-- anywhere and everywhere. This mandala includes shrimp, fried dumplings and buns, and a mooncake. Mooncakes themselves have mandalas on them, so I found that including one in the center would create a mandala-in-a-mandala. Or one single big mandala. I was inspired to create this piece by the recently celebrated annual Chinese Lunar New Year. During this time, themes of peace, unity and harmony are emphasized, so I hope my art will offer a glimpse into the values, warmth, and cultural significance of this holiday. The color palette for this piece was created with the films of Studio Ghibli in mind, due to my love for them and their art style. The both comforting and nostalgic colors and textures gives the food a visually rich feel that makes it seem real-- and delicious. This is a mixed-media piece. I started with watercolor to establish base colors and each element's general composition, before going back in with gouache to intensify the colors. Lastly, I used Chinese black ink to create a background to further give the plate of food depth and vibrancy. Whether interpreted as cultural, realistic, or just appetizing, I hope this mandala will leave viewers with a sense of warmth, peace, and positivity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/52422c58-3952-4e5f-b12b-358e00859a53/fish.jpeg Issue VI "California Golden Trout" - Shinjan Sutar This painting depicts a California golden trout surrounded by a deep blue, star-filled background. I chose to highlight the warm orange and gold tones of the trout to emphasize its beauty and uniqueness as a native species of California. The bright stars and bold blue background create contrast and help the fish stand out, almost as if it is floating in a dreamlike space. I wanted the piece to feel both natural and imaginative, blending realistic details with a more playful and creative setting. By outlining the fish in white and adding delicate patterns and textures, I focused on capturing the trout’s distinctive features. Overall, this artwork celebrates the elegance of aquatic life and encourages viewers to appreciate the diversity and beauty found in nature. https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/she-never-said-she-was-tired1 monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/indian-and-american monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/memories-set-in-sound monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/a-childs-home monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/brother-earth monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/abalone monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/rain monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/the-snow-watcher monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/observer-effect monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/liberator-times monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/the-type-of-hunger monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/deafening-silence monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/2426 monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/glass monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/the-whos-who-exist monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/perspectives monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/a-letter-to-a-young-girl- monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/contrapuntal-love-poem monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/the-crown monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/golden-days monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/lessons-in-ecology monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/1q2ulao8cbk7o0r2kmax79eqdj5crs monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/contrails monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/blog-1-copy-1/5am-thoughts monthly 0.5 2026-08-08 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/editors-note-issue-one daily 0.75 2021-05-29 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2024-06-19 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/submit daily 0.75 2025-01-28 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/sign-up daily 0.75 2020-06-13 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/about daily 0.75 2021-06-13 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/speakers daily 0.75 2020-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/1592035505464-JS3U3EMS3DXMVR2CYAWZ/94786537_235345761116224_8458503576220598272_n.jpg Speaker Bios https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/1592080524744-VAO5W4NKXSPPT1S4H0MS/IMG_3155.jpg Speaker Bios https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/1592081099627-O5HDBCA95HXKSWXPWNO2/Picture%2B%25281%2529.jpg Speaker Bios https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/1592031604936-KA4RNE4ZVQP3YGBLIUXR/88108971_212425573144049_6014639052760809472_n.jpg Speaker Bios https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/1592031829188-G8EB511SKUFIZZY9F24Q/123_1.jpeg Speaker Bios https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/1592031683238-8XBFFRCWBTNRW7YPNOP6/102288109_258221085494444_2632673508678923816_n.jpg Speaker Bios https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/1592171180428-10Q5236LOVI7K96XY46Q/image-asset.jpeg Speaker Bios https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/donate-now daily 0.75 2020-06-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/1591836951135-JOXTEW1BU0AULHY5VMP2/black+lives+matter.jpg Donate Now https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/1591837192807-AZL34SWCDBAQMLT698ZS/IMG_3001.JPG Donate Now https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/1591837260666-VT4VOYHU28O60MUCELHJ/blm.jpeg Donate Now https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/home daily 1.0 2025-02-12 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/grey-grim daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/warning-of-war daily 0.75 2021-06-10 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/the-casket daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/the-girl-encounters-darkness daily 0.75 2021-06-10 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/cardboard-boxes-in-the-attic daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-ii daily 0.75 2024-07-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/ce1f1bb2-83f5-4421-ad1b-cbb6abd11a36/panda.jpeg Issue II Lounging Panda - Will Liang // I'm not the artist--my computer is. Searching for an intersection of my interests in CS and art, I built a collage art generator that automatically created this piece from a reference image. Is this a product of creativity? Or simply the output of a series of commands? I don't know. (Here's a link to my code on Github: https://github.com/BitLorax/collage-art-generation) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/15772d10-1352-4967-8c90-6a904a2f7768/NORMS.jpeg Issue II Norms - walker // "Norms" was originally a depiction of Jack White. The final piece was inspired by the East Bay punk scene of the 1980's. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/ac5d189c-7c95-4ed5-831f-6024c2d2d490/IMG_9986.jpeg Issue II Jellybirds - SY // This painting was done with oil paint. It is about a way to show freedom; jellyfish move freely in the ocean and now they are flying into the sky. I wanted to create a separate and dreamy reality, where anything can happen and anything can break free. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/c29aea7d-c42e-46f9-891d-3395ca4a61ae/IMG_3102.png Issue II mountain tops, wise conversations, and unfolding cosmos - Simone Pereira // Oftentimes I listen to a particular song when sketching the initial concept. When sketching this, I listened to Bruno Major's "I'll Sleep When I'm Older" which is a gorgeous piece. The song narrates the passion for adventure. During quarantine, it was harder for me to grasp that sort of wonder in the world. Being trapped at home, I lost the fire to explore and live life. The one thing that helped me get through it was my art. The scenes I draw offer me a form of escapism into new worlds. This piece is a window into my mind and the places my mind has traveled. Just because I am stuck in one spot doesn't mean that I can't continue to uncover new destinations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/25574585-2adc-4270-bfd5-e63fe2b21247/Adobe+Scan+May+20%2C+2021+%284%29-page-001.jpeg Issue II Ear to Ear - Ryan Nava // A young woman laughing with friends.

I looked at it from different angles to capture as much of the skull as I could and changed my pencil strokes to show texture and depth. I drew the shoulder and hair of a girl to relate the picture to myself and added a bird to contrast the skull's dreariness with cheerfulness and hope. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/9d94f955-7080-4039-8793-74d400a6f4f2/IMG_6247.jpeg Issue II A skeleton knows - Auguste McDaniel // The image above depicts a blue toned skeleton with white highlights, with an exposed brain region, sitting behind a dark green background. The image represents the knowledge and intelligence one possesses before death, knowledge we carry onto the great beyond. A skeleton knows indeed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/f631616e-cda3-4d4b-8e1a-f23e6e9e60e4/Endangered+%281%29.png Issue II Endangered - Afreen Shameem // This piece represents the ecological changes happening due to climate change. In the left corner, I highlight the effects of coral bleaching by contrasting the vibrancy of healthy coral to the dreariness of dead coral. On the right side, the stump and dead bush show that deforestation and extreme weather conditions have killed vegetation. The homes of polar bears and penguins are endangered since ice caps are melting; so, I showed the animals to be dying by melting. Even though the gorilla's home is not melting, it is still being lost to deforestation and for consistency, I drew the gorilla melting as well. Finally, the human (me), is telling these animals to "please stay" and preserve earth's biodiversity. However, it is too late, and all she can do is beg. I made this piece to draw attention to the urgency of the climate crisis and show the consequences of inaction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/d47e2daa-5279-484d-a0ec-b54d23bc0e54/TheComfortingChildinUs.jpeg Issue II The Comforting Child in Us - Larissa Hom // I wanted to express the feeling of nostalgia that comes with your favorite comfort foods. Although we are all growing older every day, we often still have that child in us that gets excited over our favorite foods. Throughout life, our taste buds change, and it is interesting to explore how we can end up loving the things we loathe to try as children. We are also more willing to try foods as we grow and discover our tastes and preferences. To express this sense of happiness and warmth, I drew my uncle, Paul, enjoying one of his favorite foods, my auntie's spaghetti. Therefore, I called the piece The Comforting Child in Us. To experiment, I wanted to see how I can work with various angles and perspectives to emphasize the food. I used oil on canvas to portray the warmth and love my uncle feels through eating the noodles. Full artist's statement linked. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/147040e2-ad9b-485c-aa80-3645220925f6/IMG_20201228_165900_2+%281%29.jpeg Issue II Farmhouse painting - Khushi Bhatia // This is a painting of a small farmhouse surrounded by nature. It is made using acrylic paints, a brush, and a canvas. It showcases a cozy house that contributes in expressing the peacefulness of the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/e3d487dd-d4da-4868-b3f7-8be00db842a8/IMG_1634.jpeg Issue II Absurdity - Amy // Pictured in my piece is a person made up of multicolored triangles. This is meant to symbolize the philosophical concept of absurdity, in which the meaning in our lives only exists because we choose to see it. In my piece, the image is fragmented into pieces which only become visible as a person because we, as humans, see the linkage between them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/d2afd533-690b-4442-aff9-224a7cd71c47/IMG_20201030_194442+%281%29.jpeg Issue II Sunset Bridge - Khushi Bhatia // This piece portrays a beautiful bridge after a sunset. It's made using acrylic paints and warm colors. https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/winters-cavalry daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/how-to-feel-mortal-again daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/200-am daily 0.75 2021-06-11 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/portrait-girl daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/in-the-waves-of-space daily 0.75 2021-06-11 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/quiet-anger daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/moon daily 0.75 2021-06-10 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/boy-body-book daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/editors-note-issue-ii daily 0.75 2021-06-11 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/five-stages-of-tongues daily 0.75 2021-06-11 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/one-cool-night daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/propagation daily 0.75 2021-06-11 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/orders daily 0.75 2021-06-10 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/mirror-mirror-on-the-wall daily 0.75 2021-06-13 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/absolute daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/self-portrait-of-winged-victory-of-samothrace daily 0.75 2021-06-10 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/the-police-are-coming-should-i-scream-or-smile daily 0.75 2021-06-12 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/editors-note-issue-one-1 daily 0.75 2022-07-13 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/guest-speakers-about daily 0.75 2022-09-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/susanne-lakin daily 0.75 2022-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/086f804d-4137-4612-a64f-734b6f710196/Screenshot+2022-09-14+151452.png https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/jay-hartlove daily 0.75 2022-09-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/361d549f-a2ca-4f66-ae76-7b0b8b389fe5/Jay.Rabbit.cat_.jpg https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/sarah-sundin daily 0.75 2022-10-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/2822d053-8af8-4cae-8f65-8d0b0cc2b85f/sundin-d70-c2a92008-linda-johnson-photography-web-2.jpg https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/rocky-lang daily 0.75 2022-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/02da68ea-f149-4266-8511-18f732cccd2a/rocky-Lang.jpg https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/ea-provost daily 0.75 2022-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/9df42dfd-d10f-49ee-9b04-c868f7584589/Screenshot_20221106_123946.png https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/charlie-jane-anders daily 0.75 2022-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ea4ace1cd6b8314fa641841/edd903ae-1419-4785-924e-eef0cf58f0f9/CHarlie_Jane_Anders_3E1FA828D77DE.jpg https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/credits-for-issue-iv daily 0.75 2025-02-11 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/issue-iv-credis-v2 daily 0.75 2024-06-19 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/editors-note-issue-iv daily 0.75 2025-07-25 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/credits-for-issue-iv-1 daily 0.75 2025-05-23 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/editors-note-issue-v daily 0.75 2025-07-25 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/credits-for-issue-iv-1-1 daily 0.75 2026-07-15 https://lighthousemag.squarespace.com/editors-note-issue-v-1 daily 0.75 2026-08-09
