For me Ekstasis has challenged me to look and be inspired by everything and everyone around me, there is always something to learn and also it has given me a sense of creating with a bigger purpose, imagination is one of the biggest things for creatives, we imagine to create, through our art, others can imagine and create, it’s a continuous thing and it’s a beautiful thing.
As a photographer, Ekstasis magazine has challenged me to improve and grow in my art and I was inspired to read different books, know new artists in all the different mediums. Each photo shown, the quality, the intentionality, the inspiration for each theme it’s just beautiful. I see unity in this magazine, in a world where each artist is working for themselves, I see here collaborations, the sharing of creatives works, inspirations, books, quotes and favourite paintings and many other things, it’s more than a magazine is space where we can come and have space to imagine is amazing. We are called too create but we are called also to be in fellowship and enjoy our fellow creatives work, imagine with them, be inspired.
I believe as Christians we have a lot to imagine, the word of God is full of narratives that appeal to our imagination, Jesus challenge us to imagine, even the knock of Jesus at the door to get inside our heart appeals to our imagination. We need to go back to that essence, be like Jesus, and be apart of reviving the Christian imagination.
