Mundane Matters
Mundane Matters is an editorial publication that immerses itself in the space of rituals that often go overlooked, and explores how they create a place of empowerment. Readers receive an issue, paired with an object related to the ritual, and are invited to connect and participate in the ritual for themselves.
CONCEPT
Life can feel as if we have to measure its meaning through indicators such as career success, romantic relationships, relaxing getaways, and other milestones. But how do we find significance in our everyday lives, doing mundane activities? How can our habitual routines empower us on a daily basis? This publication strives to find self-growth in our seemingly uneventful rituals which fuel us to love ourselves and equip us to evolve and prosper.
