‘Double Take’ is a series of publications with a focus on creative writing and other means of conveying ideas, highlighting particular subjects through various interpretations. The second issue seeks to explore the concept of luxury and the meanings ascribed to it by different people – whether that is based on life experiences, personal perspectives, or external factors out of our control. All that glitters may not be gold, yet still we somehow yearn for it. Contributions range from an experimental poetry made from “readymades” of apartment advertisements and meditations on togetherness to reflections on the value of inner peace.
