Kaitlyn Danielson: Of Breath And Dust
The breath is our life source; its’ cycle resembling a miniature life and death, appearing and disappearing in a constant, undulating rhythm.

Luther Gerlach: Thomas Fire Burn
The 2017 Thomas Fire is the largest in California history, an extreme example of an increasingly powerful destructive and creative cycle endemic to the region. The burn came within a quarter mile of my home, and as the smoke cleared, I was struck by how it had abstracted the landscape,...
