Volume Three: Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis is both wound and wonder, a spell cast in the trembling space between loss and renewal. Flesh dissolves, language shatters, and strange new shapes begin to shimmer in the dark. We invite work that conjures thresholds, where transformation is as much enchantment as it is undoing.
