About
Parentheses Journal is a new collaborative venture in the quest for sharing art, operating on the quintessence of art for art’s sake. We create our own utopias in the imperfections of being. The voices contain within figments of dust and deep trenches, everyday harmonies and soliloquies in the sand. The aesthetic of bent dust hardbacks and thick lettered illegible syntaxes in ancient caverns nudges. A semblance of everydayness, colloquial artifacts of experience, membranes of telling over war-frayed leaves rouses. You belong.

Visual Art Open
We delve into everything and find art. It runs through fields and mist, sounds of winds within locks of trees, the discursive semicircle of a used tin. The satisfaction to create, know and share. There is art where you attempt to look outside in, for it is no monolith.
