HiveDiscoMod Curation Highlights April 16, 2025

Photo by Олег Мороз on Unsplash I never believed in magic or fantasy stories, for me they were fragments of people's imagination. As a representation of the extraordinary, the impossible echoed in our perception of the imaginary, becoming a door to escape from the real. The day I learned that the fantastic could also be something unexpected, I was intrigued by the possibility of the impossible. One morning I awoke crowded by the non stop calls from my friend, Tabatha, who was very worried about what would happen next ...

To dream is to live La playa colorada is located in Sucre State, Venezuela. Halfway between Cumaná and Puerto La Cruz. The sand of this beach is reddish. Many of its inhabitants of these generations, origins of their ancestors, say that due to the color of its sand, similar to coral, is where it derives its name ...

There’s this type of silence that accompanies betrayal. No, it doesn’t scream, it just simmers like a pot of soup after a boil. I actually met Divine during my second week at the Rivers State University. She had this box braids that reached down to her waist, carried a tote bag that read “Soft girls don’t chase” and spoke like she had seen life in black and white; no vibrancy ...

After an hour of ~~sleeping in~~ riding the bus from downtown Nikko, we were greeted by this mountain in front of Chuzenji Onsen bus terminal. It was so beautiful, and with its shape, it kinda reminded me of Mayon Volcano in the Philippines. We were talking of what mountain or probably a volcano this was, but my memory of our talk was nowhere to be found now. If you know the name of this mountain, let me know in the comments ...

Imagine taking a walk in a bright sunny day. The sky is clear and blue. And then boom 💥🤯 A huge block of ice falls on your head out of nowhere and you are dead. Just like that ...

Hello there! It's me, Mae! I hope you all are doing well. As a human being, I’m not gonna lie that waking up at 5:00 in the morning wasn’t easy haha ...

After approximately two and a half years of feeling exhausted, I feel as if I am coming back to life. No, I don't know exactly what caused the exhaustion. Neither traditional nor alternative medical providers have come up with a definite cause, but I have a few theories which involve more than one factor contributing to the problem. But that's not the subject of this post ...

Before now, life had been turbulent for me, and that was because I got really scared of taking risks and seizing the moment. I'd always feel that there were better days ahead, so if one opportunity passes by, another one will come. Such mentality quickly reminded me of an adage in my locality, which when translated to English, stated that, "There are no birds in the bushes, for the bird in one's possession is the only one whose availability is certain". Taking a trip down memory lane, I soon realised that If I had seized the moment when certain job opportunities presented themselves in the past, I bet that my life would have been better than what it is now because then I would have had an early start ...

Español Domingo de Ramos en Málaga: Inspirada por el post de otro hiver a responder ¿Dónde está Dios? ¿Dónde está Dios? Es una pregunta hermana casi literal a una que me hacía de pequeña: ¿Quién es Dios? Mis padres, especialmente mi madre, no soportaba mis preguntas de naturaleza teológica y cuando no armaba un escándalo a modo de respuesta, me respondía a secas: “es un misterio” ...

A few joyless spring landscapes. They do not have gloomy shades, like autumn landscapes, but they do not please the eye like the nature of late spring, when grass and trees begin to turn green everywhere. In general, just neutral colors and nothing special. But soon everything will change ...

I created these intriguing diptychs based on a portrait of the young Chiara interacting with a wire mesh. The work reflects the essence of a young woman hidden behind a metal structure, inviting us to explore multiple levels of interpretation, both visual and poetic. More than a physical barrier, the metal mesh becomes a symbol laden with meaning: a metaphor for the emotional complexities and layers of protection we build to shield ourselves from the world. I worked in both color and black and white to explore which of the two variations is more interesting ...

On Monday morning I didn’t wake up until 6:15AM. I had a lot to do before the window guy arrived at 8AM. I got the kitchen cleaned up, a shower, and started moving seedlings out of the roundtop and back porch windows. Then I went in and started taking the things out of the bathroom window as that was the first one ...

Hay noches que marcan el inicio de una nueva etapa, y esta fue una de ellas ...
