Issue VI: The Table of Bacchus

In an age of excess, we invite you to explore the depths of hedonism. Flora Fauna seeks submissions that delve into the intoxicating allure of pleasure, consumption, and the human desire for more. Inspired by the god of wine and revelry, Dionysus/Bacchus, we challenge you to confront the contemporary manifestations of this ancient archetype.

From the gilded cages of consumerism to the euphoric highs of digital escapism, we want to see how you interpret the excesses of our time. How does the pursuit of pleasure intersect with environmental concerns, cultural expectations, and personal fulfillment?

Let your imagination run wild. We seek work that is both lavish and critical, beautiful and grotesque, intoxicating and revelatory.
