What do people spend their time thinking about?

 

The relationship they have with their childhood blanket, their customers, their memories, with cooking, their artistic process, their fluid identities. It seems that regardless of how close or distant we feel from the people around us, we are constantly preoccupied with each other, and we keep reaching out with tenderness, often without meaning to.

 

The following stories and artworks explore this, the ways in which we care. I am incredibly excited to showcase the work of all our incredible contributors, who have given so much time and attention to exploring the details of our daily kindnesses and cruelties. Our sixth issue is a reflection on our capacity for consideration, the ways in which we project significance onto mundane things, how we create meaning for ourselves through care.
