In the summer of 2023, Peace Wong's latest zine publication, sapphic soul, was born out of an unexpected twist — a translation error occurred in a split sec., bringing forth a sapphire gem that would eternally revolutionize her life.

Joined by a captivating ensemble of luminaries, including the ancient Greek poet Sappho of 630 BC, the introspective and prolific diariest Susan Sontag who experienced rebirth through diary entries between the ages of 14 and 30, the Canadian novelist Sheila Heti, the poet and novelist Ocean Vuong, accompanied by Guanyin Bodhisattva (अवलोकितेश्वर), Dakini (Ḍākinī), and even Jesus Christ (ישוע), Peace Wong embarked on a transcendent, multilingual, gender-fluid and cross-species journey that defied the bounds of time and space — an incorporeal party of telepathy that invites you to join in, right now.

As the cliche goes, “Some people come into your life for a season, for a reason, or for a lifetime”, Peace wants to refute with the argument that “every second is eternal”, thus negating at least two of the options above — if every second is eternal, then every passer-by, remains, at least, for a lifetime.

“Could I be a sapphire?”
