What do an over-easy egg, seas of clouds, your mother’s coffin, and a lie have in common?

Find out in sinθ Issue #13 “FORM 形”—an exploration of all the strangest, best-loved mis- and displaced shapes and shapeshifters in our lives. Editor-in-chief Jiaqi Kang Kang muses on the common denominator of racism that often unites diasporic experiences and sinθ’s hopes for a deeper, schistic understanding of the rickety, amorphous, beautiful thing that is diasporic identity in her latest riveting editorial.

Art director Elisabeth Siegel had the opportunity to sit down with Yale’s Director of Undergraduate Studies for Architecture, Dr. Joyce Hsiang, to converse about Dr. Hsiang’s foundations and familial influences in the architectural field, her perceptions of “sustainability,” and anticipated future projects.

We feature egg-cellent works—poetry by Emily Lu and installation art by Sonia Cheng—alongside reflective and visceral fiction by Kevin Robert Fong, Allison Huang, K. K. Mai, and Lily Amelia Susman; luminous photography by Wenkai Wang, Chunfeng Lu, Isaac Sy and Kevin Lu; and a host of multi-formed, multidimensional written, visual, and installation creations by Sino diasporic creatives around the world.

From pottery and rice to papayas and poetry on Publix supermarkets, Issue #13 is rich with shapes and places both familiar and foreign, near and far. Read on for a journey through interiority and promise along the subway tracks and into burdened stomachs. We have cumulated works of all shapes, sizes, and distributions to bring you the wobbly, whimsical wonders that FORM embodies.
