N.04 Beneath the Surface

N.04 – Spring 2021 Issue – Beneath the Surface

Beneath the Surface

The events of the last year forced us to pause, reassess, and traverse our way towards a different reality – one grounded in more intention and deliberation.

For this issue, we asked current students and alumni to revisit and reflect on their work and design practices. What are the unacknowledged influences and invisible factors within the works? What are the ideas, concepts, or motivations sitting beneath the surface?
