The world feels lost right now. But there’s one thing that I think everyone believes in (at least a little bit): Magic.

It’s not always super-natural. Magic can have a mystical, out-of-the ordinary feeling. You ever sit still in a moment and say, “wow, this is special”?

We believe that magic can be found in simple moments and that it’s everywhere.

Thank you for believing in magic with us.

This issue of From Whispers to Roars features work from thirteen talented individuals. We hope you enjoy their work.
