VOLUME 9 / ISSUE 1

Theme: Flora and Fauna

Cover Art: Ganapati Hegde

After a long pause, we’re back.

Yes, time may have passed since our last edition, but our passion for art, stories, and meaningful conversations has only grown deeper. These years away weren’t idle—they were filled with observation, reflection, and a renewed appreciation for the world around us. And now, with full hearts and curious minds, we’re ready to begin again.

What better way to mark our return than with a theme that feels both timeless and urgent—‘Flora and Fauna’.

This issue roots itself in nature—not just as a backdrop, but as a living, breathing protagonist. With every leaf, feather, and paw print, it whispers stories that are ancient and alive. The artists and photographers we met along the way reminded us that nature is not a place apart from us—it is home, a mirror, a teacher, and a muse. Their works capture its wildness, its silence, its ferocity, and its stillness.

And just like the forests we walk through or the skies we gaze at, this issue, too, is layered. It doesn’t just stop at admiration. It asks: How do we live with the land? What do we take? What do we give back? What does it mean to belong to something bigger than ourselves?

From the delicate intricacies of botanical studies to bold portrayals of endangered species, every page invites you to slow down and really see. Not just with your eyes, but with your breath—with your whole being.

So, if you too are curious to discover just how wild, wondrous, and full of meaning the world of ‘Flora and Fauna’ really is, pick up your copy from Art Houz Gallery, Chennai or Bengaluru.

This is more than a magazine. This is a homecoming.
