United Kingdom
Perhaps more than anywhere else, the United Kingdom mirrors the dual themes in our global report—time and space. Creatives there see a gravitational pull toward simpler times as an invitation to explore the past. And the artificial glow of our digital dominions is beginning to dim as we favor the lights of nature—especially those out at sea.

03.Sea that?
British creatives are channelling their inner William Turner because the seas will be rocking in 2022. From mermaids, catamarans, lakes and fish-eating sharks, the great blue beyond has never been more exciting.
