 Photo Essay: Rumi Russell




March 18, 2026

On June 15, 2025 we launched the third issue of 4N magazine at Bungee Space in NYC. We tasked photographer Rumi Russell (who was three years old at the time) with documenting the launch party, and he captured things on film from his unique perspective.







About 4N

Stemming from the creative platform of Special Special, 4N is a biannual magazine showcasing extraordinary foreign talent in America. We recognize the challenges faced by foreigners in obtaining sufficient credentials to demonstrate their value for staying in the United States, and 4N acts as a platform for those artists to present their work in the company of other talented creatives. Our goal for 4N is to create a community-based publication that honors and highlights the exciting work and personalities involved.
