To readers new and returning,
Welcome to the 18th edition of Clamor. This journal continues to provide a place to share and celebrate the artistic talents of our students and community members. We at Clamor hope that this edition encourages its readers to reflect and explore the world around us while fostering self-expression and the freedom of creative thought. Across all mediums, art is profoundly linked with how we interpret and perceive the world and has the power to shape our sense of community and self.
The submissions that Clamor’s editorial board reviewed this year were introspective, surreal, and at times, heartbreaking. They were capable of delving into the foundations of the human soul, to either tear it apart or restore it anew. The contributors this year have blown us away with the depths of their talent. We are proud to bring these works to light and thankful that the contributors were willing to share their art with the community.
A pen cannot be put to paper without a hand to guide it; in the same vein, Clamor thrives from the support of its editors, contributors, and readers. We would like to offer a special thanks to Clamor’s faculty advisor, Ching-In Chen, and Student Engagement & Activities assistant director, Pauline Tolentino.
Finally, we thank each and every one of you for an amazing 18 years of Clamor.
