FROM THE EDITOR

Life itself is full of stories. Endless stories like the countless stars in the sky. New stars are constantly being born every day. Through LIFE IN COLOR, I aim to bring depth and layers to my storytelling and exploration of the future. Everything on Earth exists for a reason. Every life is meticulously created. Every shade of colour holds meaning, and stories evolve around them. Connecting with nature is a pivotal step toward life's discovery. However, we are facing serious environmental issues like never before. The rapid shrinking of the Amazon rainforest and ocean pollution pose enormous threats to the well-being of our planet. The trends 'Whisper of Earth' and 'Underwater Wonders' call attention to the importance of preserving and protecting wildlife in the rainforests and marine life by spotlighting their intricate and powerful colours, patterns, forms, and textures. Our human body is also part of nature. 'Brown Sugar To My Heart' explores different shades of brown commonly seen in our hair and skin pigmentation, igniting appreciation for our natural bodies as well as nature itself. The neutral colour palette of 'Abandoned Beauty' encourages us to embrace imperfections and celebrate the beauty of authenticity. 'In The Mood For Blues' delves into promoting emotional well-being, allowing us to connect with and express our emotions, and cultivate a positive outlook. Meanwhile, the vibrancy in 'Soul of Africa' translates hope, new possibilities, and the reimagination of a bright future. Through the surreal colours in "Sunset Poetry', we immerse ourselves in the love, grace, and beauty that life offers. Lastly, " Cinematic Life'. captures the spirit of visual storytelling through the use of bold and subdued colours creating a sense of nostalgic reality, a sort or escapism and adventure. The essence of life itself is timeless - it withstands the test of time. This trend book aims to share a directional yet timeless message with new and renewed perspectives and incredible colours. More importantly, it offers a piece of poetry dedicated to each theme to evoke sentiment and add depth to your ideas and creations. Are you ready to go on an expedition of discovery together?
