TRANSITIONS explores the concept of being in flux—how we, as individuals and communities, are constantly reshaped by the world around us. From the slow unfolding of nature’s cycles to the urgency of climate change, our identities, cultures, and connections to the environment are in a perpetual state of transformation. In this issue, we seek work that engages with these shifts, whether through ecological, personal, or societal lenses. How do we navigate change, both internal and external, in a world that’s always evolving? At the intersection of nature and identity, we recognize that the personal is political—the choices we make and the stories we tell are deeply connected to the larger transformations unfolding in our world.
