ALT A photo of the Heritage issue of Snowflake Magazine with a delivery note held up against a mostly blanket white wall. The cover shows a collage of queer people of various races with pops of colour and rainbow. The top has the snowflake magazine logo with “volume 3 issue 2” and “the heritage issue” then “fiction-art-essays-interviews-poetry” at the bottom. The sign says “thank you so much for your order and your work Petra-Jurik! (Love heart) Team Snowflake”

ALT The open double page spread showing my work depicting Isa Sahmarlının against a traditional Azerbaijani rug surrounded by rainbow flames. The top of the page says “Editor’s Pick: Rəngəıərim / İsa Şahmarlının”. The second page has text that reads: “Editor’s Thoughts: I can’t think of an example that better suits what we hoped to see when the prompt was chosen. Full of colour, history and cultural pride, this piece is truly cynosure to our theme . The text can be roughly translated to “the world is not strong enough for my colours to shine”, a feeling I think all queer people have experienced. The art style is playful and yet looking at the carpet, his shirt, his face, there is an attention to detail belies the love and care the artist has invested. Beautiful, colourful and poignant, I love it. - Mairnan, Editor-In-Chief”
