Issue X: oleander is all about duality.
The two sides to everything. Appearance versus reality.
The oleander is an ornamental flower grown for its beauty and delicate flowers. It is also highly toxic. Every single part poses a danger to human beings. Still, we continue to cultivate something which could prove fatal.
Oleander is not the only thing in our lives we continue to love and cherish which has a sinister underbelly.
Issue X calls for exploring the dual nature of things, it calls for abstract, hybrid and experimental work. Issue X calls for your secrets and your truth.
