Art by Trevor Nichols

Eagle Scout Trevor Nichols has, for his entire life, been an avid consumer of fiction, fantasy, and art. Since he was little, he had dreamed of writing, drawing, and painting his own worlds for others to enjoy; to be remembered fondly for his work, and to make others feel the way he did. He became a Boyscout, so he could experience the outdoors, travel, and learn. He tried his hand in craft, music, writing, everything he could to find how to express himself and the things he imagined. All this to say that while he is only a learner in all that he does, his goal is to to hone himself, and give unto others the wonder he feels and has felt.

Christopher Woods is a writer and photographer who lives in Texas. His monologue show, Twelve from Texas, was performed in NYC by Equity Library Theatre. His poetry collection, Maybe Birds Would Carry It Away, is published by Kelsay Books.

Ryo Kajitani works as both artist and queer art model in Tokyo, Japan. His identity as nonbinary and asexual enriches not only his presence as a model but also resonates throughout his artistic practice. During his time at Tama Art University (2010-2014), he specialized in oil-based woodcut printmaking. In the doctoral program (2016-2019), he studied under the late MOTOE Kunio (art historian, 1948-2019) and Nakamura Yutaka (cultural anthropologist). His research focused on implementing the ontological aesthetics method in exhibition spaces with the artistic activities therein and proposed tentative logical models based on Heidegger’s art theory. After graduating, he returned to work as an art model and graphic designer in Tokyo. His experience in art modeling and knowledge of woodblock printmaking techniques converge in his current photographic practice. His work combines analog photography and computational methods using Python libraries. Recent exhibitions and awards include the Montage Award at Meta Morph AI Film Awards, participation in “AI AI AI International Group Invitational” at WESSLING Contemporary (formerly Radian Gallery), and recognition at the Asian Digital Art Award FUKUOKA. He also uses his experience of being assaulted to provide international humanitarian aid and support orphans and others who wish to reintegrate into society.
