You know the end of the world is near when you see it everywhere — in war, climate collapse, economic uncertainty, and the slow erosion of human rights. Anxiety runs through daily life, and nothing feels stable. But apocalypse doesn’t only mean destruction. From the Greek apokálypsis, it also means revelation — a moment of truth before transformation. This edition explores that dual meaning. Apocalypse as collapse, yes — environmental, social, personal. But also as exposure, insight, and possibility. It asks: What is ending? What might begin? We invited artists to share their visions of crisis and revelation — from global catastrophes to private unravelings. Their works confront extinction, injustice, AI, burnout, and more — while also searching for meaning, survival, and hope. Published in 2023 during Munich Jewellery Week, this issue brought urgent, global perspectives into view. Whatever apocalypse means to you — we hope this edition offers both reflection and a spark of reimagining.
