Issue 0.5 Sports Iconography examines the aesthetics of competition — uniforms, gestures, rituals and mythologies that shape athletes and how we see them. Quiet moments before the whistle. Choreography within contact. The way a jersey can feel like armour, nation, or memory.
Inside, Team Canada water polo captain Bogdan Djerkovic reflects on leadership and pressure. Ozan Metin explores how motion becomes graphic and heroes become icons. Avery Ferguson revisits varsity nostalgia and athletic symbolism. Emily Nkanga captures the emotional architecture of sport, showing tension, grace, fatigue, and defiance.
Issue 0.5 positions sport as cultural theatre, a site of image-making, a factory of legends, and a mirror for ambition.
If Issue 0 explored the artist at work, Issue 0.5 studies the athlete as an icon and asks what it means to be seen in motion.
