’Our fingerprints don’t fade from the lives we touch.’ - Judy Blume

We may not know the fingerprints of those around us, but we’re capable of identifying the marks they leave behind in our hearts. In life, we cross paths with a lot of souls, but some become more than just faces in the crowd - we see them as ’people’, a class apart from the rest - they may be the love of your life, the one that got away, your best friend, your new-born niece, or that chivalrous old man in front of you at the check-out.

As a tribute to that gift of humanity, those connections, this anthology is a curation of 20 works that traverse the landscape of souls, across different terrains: love, friendship, and other forms of bonding; chance encounters, that may last a day, or a lifetime.

And they’re sure to set you on a journey, as most of them, if not all, have been experienced by you - to pause, reflect and go back to those moments when these individuals stood out. Let’s begin, shall we?
