Rise by Collage Soup: A Collage Art Book Celebrating Diversity, Belonging, and Shared Humanity to cut up, tear up, and stick on.

Most collage books are full of flowers, scripts, and vintage botanicals. Rise is something different. This is a collage book built around people — diverse, specific, and real — made to cut apart and layer into art that actually means something.Created in collaboration between Heather Zuchowski of Art for Life, LLC and Collage Soup, Rise is rooted in representation, creative care, and visual storytelling. Every image was chosen with intention. The result is 84 pages of raw material that honors the complexity and beauty of human experience — and hands it over to you to make your own.This is not background filler. This is the kind of imagery that makes a collage feel like it has something to say. Cut it up. Paste it down. Build something true.Rise was designed for creators who want their art to reflect the world as it actually is — full of different bodies, faces, ages, and stories. The imagery celebrates belonging and shared humanity while leaving space for each maker's own meaning to emerge. Use it to reflect, to process, to connect, or just to make something beautiful.Whether you work in art journals, junk journals, mixed media canvases, or smash books, Rise gives you collage material that goes deeper than decoration. Tear a page out. Cut a figure. Layer it over paint or paper. Let the image do some of the work.Cut it up. Tear it up. Stick it down.
