The RURSUS Anthology
The RURSUS Anthology
A cycle carries weight. It permeates, lingers, and aches. From the cyclical pattern of nature and creation, to the ritual of a morning commute, our lives persist and change in an infinite loop. What is your cycle or ritual? How does it take shape? Why does it continue?
Our RURSUS Anthology, distinct from our traditional issues, brings together a diverse array of works from creatives spanning 12 countries that explore the very meaning of following, continuing, and turning back to start all over again.
RURSUS [ LATIN: backward, turned back, on the contrary, in return, in turn, again ]
