This morning, we’re sharing the heart of our Spring issue.

The theme is Pressed Petals. Scroll for the moodboard (paid subscribers only)

Pressed Petals grew from an interest in the things we choose to keep. The delicate moments we press into permanence. There’s something about a pressed flower. How it captures both the ending and the everlasting.

The things that proved beautiful even when no one was watching.

How it holds the softest colors, the most fragile blooms, the things too precious to let go. A way of saying: this mattered. This was lovely. Let it stay.

Memory becomes our only souvenir.

Below is the moodboard that guides the inspiration behind this issue.

The moodboard is a paid subscriber benefit. Your paid subscription directly supports our writers. 

The emotional and visual world we returned to while shaping it.
