The Sea of Emotions

We are now accepting submissions for our upcoming special edition, "The Sea of Emotions"—a curated publication exploring the deep, fluid, and often untamed relationship between human emotion and the sea.

This open call invites visual artists to reflect on the ocean as a metaphor, a memory, a presence. Think of tides and tempests, calm waters and churning depths. From personal reflections to political undercurrents. We welcome work that navigates the emotional landscapes inspired by seas, oceans, rivers, and watery realms.

Open to artists worldwide, aged 18 and above.
