ABOUT
FORTY5 ISSUE 7 - METAMORPHOSIS


Forty5’s 7th issue’s theme is metamorphosis: self-realization/fulfillment of potential; new stage of growth. It encompasses a liminal state, where we might feel between using our practice as a passion and as professionals. We search for completion that may never be fully reached, as transformation is constant within our artistic identities -- and that is ok. In the next pages, you will encounter works of fashion, art, technology & more that we have carefully curated to give you this issue, touching upon topics of culture, literary references, and identity.

EDITORIAL SHOOT


In Metamorphosis we introspect a new stage of growth. Like nature taking over la Petite Ceinture, new ideals and ideas fill our minds, replacing past constructs. In this search for one’s self, exploration is key -- between trees, running on the old railroad tracks, we look for it.
