ABOUT THE COVER For once in our lives, we have wished we could fly, to see a whole new perspective and to escape the chaos on the ground. We want to see a wider horizon, different from what we are used to. And in reality, there is no closer to seeing things in a different angle than photographs do. Just like flying, photographs are limitless to what it can convey. It is like the sky that bridges pure intention and different expressions. They aren't just images or objects in a box. Rather, they are stories to tell, memories with lessons and a message words cannot say. It is a form of art that needs no word, no tone and no strokes. In fact, photograph itself is a story and a music that lets you imagine of memories and future scenes. Just like flying, photographs take us to places and let us witness actions and happenings of people's lives. You see, photographs are a movement, not just a memory. And it can take us to a different height just like how flying takes us to the clouds. Dyan Rae G. Rapacon Managing Editor, The Review

Jezreel Larry R. Caunca The pandemic deprived us of two years of memories we could have created inside the campus. Despite this, our Editor-in-Chief, The Review time outside the university allowed us to pursue other things in our lives. Amidst the challenges of the current global health crisis, we strived to pursue our dreams and passion. We continue in capturing precious moments, hoping we will relive this someday. Photographs serve more than just preserved moments, they teach us to focus and find the correct angle in taking our shots. Just like in our lives, we will focus on the things we want to achieve, look for the right way or angle to realize our dreams and continue taking our shots, especially if at some point it will not work out. This edition of the photo folio from The Review, the official student publication of Northwestern University, manifests the precious stories of the students. Each photo signifies the desire of the students to showcase their work and for us to have a remarkable experience. It is a great platform to hear the students' sentiments, stories, and ideas through photographs. I am grateful to everyone who has made the creation of this issue possible. Join us and explore the stories through the lens of every Northwesternian. Fiat Lux!

I always believe that the universal language of photography is that,it communicate toward the heart. The contributors exerted effort to show you what needs to be seen and understood. There is no higher honor or privilege for me than to have spent my life surrounded by images and the incredible people who produce and share them. We divided the images into four categories: Beyond Horizon, Beyond Faces, Beyond Figures, and Beyond Taste. I hope you will observe the deep meaning of each photo in this folio. Jonh Lloyd Aquino Lead Photojournalist, The Review

beyond horizon

City lights, drunk nights --- I still can't forget you. @ Lucky Jastine Foronda

@cKlaerrikzljeuMstoinniqeugeaBliazratolome Pwede naman siguro tumigil at magpahinga muna. Gaya ngayon, namnamin ang tanawin, lilimutan lang saglit ang sakit ng kahapon.

@cMlaicrakhjAunsdtrinees galiza His world was shattered underneath his feet, but he believed it wasn't the end of everything. He climbs through mountains of failure and struggle. He finally made it to the top.

A lost soul found direction in a setting sun. For her, it was salvation. @ Maria Irish Lucas

@ Clark Justine A. Galiza \"Where do you want to go?\" He onced asked her. She closed her eyes and smiled bitterly, \"To a place where I'll never witness the sun setting. It's a bitter and tormenting feeling for someone who hates goodbyes. \"

We are not going that way. But what else can we do? We just have to keep running in circles until we find our way out of this beautiful mess we've grown tired of. @ Kerizle Monique Bartolome

@cMlarikajIursisthinLeugcasliza I need to paint that. The beauty and peace the world offers me.

@JcelarirckhajuFsatyieneTginaglsizoan Just breathe. Let the wind soothe your troubled soul.

Note to remeber: It's okay. You've got this one @ Jericha Faye Tingson

Yakap ng hangin sa dalampasigan, alaala ng kahapon ay binabalikan. @ Maria Irish Lucas

I guess I will always chose to look at you from a distance and love you in silence. @ Kerizle Monique Bartolome

@cZlaiarnktajul sStaimnaengthaalizLaorenzo Sea breeze brushed through my skin, then what happened next --- I forgot why I am here.

@cJlearrikchjausFtaiyneegTianlgizsoan Despite the darkness around, focus your gaze on the things that bring light to your life.

@cMlaicrakhjAunsdtrinees galiza Embrace the freedom you have. Remember, there is happiness in being alone.

@cZlaiarnktajul sStaimnaengthaalizLaorenzo If I could just stop thinking about you. I might start feeling better, and this stupid heart won't stop hurting whenever I look at the sea that reminds me how you have left me broken under the setting sun.

@cJlearrikchjausFtaiyneegTianlgizsoan Inch by inch, my feelings for you will turn into ashes.

Narito ang dati nat- ing tagpuan. Nais kong bumalik sa panahong ika'y kasama. @ Maria Irish Lucas

There is beauty in goodbyes. @ Erika Winslet Corpuz

@cKlaerrikzljeuMstoinniqeugeaBliazratolome Life has so much things to offer. If you're having a terrible day today, tomorrow might be different for you.

@cDleanrikeljleusEtlilnixeegSaalilzasaac Ikaw panalanging araw-araw na binubulong sa langit, ngunit hindi man lang dininig. Siguro, hindi ka para sakin. O di kaya hindi pa ito ang tamang panahon para sa atin.

@cMlarikajIursisthinLeugcasliza \"There is another alphabet, whispering from every leaf, singing from every river, shimmering from every sky.\" ---Dejan Stojanovic

@cAlallarnkjBursatvoinegaliza Sa yapos at haplos ng aking ina, ramdam ko ang mapayapang pahinga. Tahanan, ang kanlungan na puno ng pagmamahal at aruga.

You can see the stars from here. And I could pluck them out for you. @ Lucky Jastine Foronda

@cJlearrikchjausFtaiyneegTianlgizsoan The world breaks everyone, and afterward, many are strong at the broken places. ---- Ernest Hemingway

@cKlaerrikzljeuMstoinniqeugeaBliazratolome If I could just swing the struggles away. I could be both on the top of the world and I could be happier.

@cDleanrikeljleusEtlilnixeegSaalilzasaac You can start late, look different, be uncertain and still succeed. --- Misty Copeland

@cJlearrikchjausFtaiyneegTianlgizsoan We needed both to stop this silly affair. We're just like the sun and the moon, we'll never be together. But I know, neither of us want to let go.

@cDlanrikeljuSsintainegaliza I am afraid...I might end up witnessing how the waves erase his traces away.

@cJlearrikchjausFtaiyneegTianlgizsoan You're my regret. Yet, I was still glad I stopped holding onto you.

@cJlearrikchjausFtaiyneegTianlgizsoan He turned the tides. She embraced every depths of him. The world stopped breathing that day. Their hearts finally sailed as one.

@cJloahrnkjLulosytdinAeqguainloiza It's more than reflected colors or prism. They want to live to be accepted and to be the greatest.

@cLleairhkzejluiestJihnaerglaaylniezaBaltazar \"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.\" ---Jon Kabat-Zinn.

@cJleaarnkejtutsetAinireagDaelilazaCruz \"Perhaps, this is the end for us.\" She whispered. \"Maybe it won't no longer hurt.\" He agreed. With a chaste kiss placed on her forehead as a goodbye, she muttered under her breath, \"If...anyone asks, tell them we're fine.\"

@cJloanrhkjLulosytdinAeqguainloiza Life has withered away when spring suddenly became cold as winter.

@ John Llyod Aquino Sa isang kapirasong lupa, nabuo ang mundo. Sa isang hulma ng putik, nabuo ang tao. Parang ikaw, sa isang ngiti mo nabuo ang puso ko.

My drug is our conversation until past midnight. Being the last person you'd talk to is my sweet goodnight. @ Kerizle Monique Bartolome

@cJloahrnkjLulysotdinAeqguainloiza Ang pag-ibig ay parang kanta. Masarap pakinggan at kung natapos na, ito'y uulit- ulitin hanggang magsawa na.

@cLleairhkzejluiestJihnaerglaaylniezaBaltazar I love moments like this where silence is golden.

@cLleairhkzejluiestJihnaerglaaylniezaBaltazar Kahit pa ako minsa'y iyong kaaway, ika'y patuloy na sasamahan hanggang sa iyong tagumpay.
