spring ’26 theme: infrared

“Infrared”

  1. “situated outside the visible spectrum”

The human eye cannot see infrared light, yet our skin feels its heat. For Align’s Spring 2026 issue, Infrared, we encourage you to explore the dissonance between perceiving and feeling. How do the mind and body interact and contradict each other? 

Consider life at its most extreme, but also in its banality. Consider the pursuit of the intangible to the point of its tangibility. What is visible to the naked eye and what is invisible? What happens when the curtains close? 

Think iSpy games / the pursuit of treasure / Captain Ahab’s folly in Moby Dick / the madwoman in the attic trope / returning to the unfamiliar / overexposure and underexposure / neverending mazes / just out of reach / peeking through a keyhole / hidden in plain sight / hide-and-seek / peeling back layers / playful mystery / lost and found
