S P A C E | Autumn 2024, 'Saudade'

Introducing 'Saudade.'

This collection of original works explores the Portuguese concept of saudade, capturing the complex emotions of 'missing someone or something that is no longer present.'

Designer-writer Dipika Kohli dives into the theme of saudade, which carries us through intermittent moments of simultaneous yet also conflicting emotions of nostalgia, longing, and melancholy. It's her uniquely modern aesthetic, applied to a re-interpretation of what's a quite universal, and timeless concept.

Whether seeking a moment of introspection, inspiration, or an ephemeral escape, "Saudade" provides a diverse range of words and images, curated to invite you to explore complexities of memory and our changing relationships with what we wish to hold, or let go, or both.

This issue is Volume II in the S P A C E | Autumn, 'Curiosity' series.
