Description

This issue brings together a global group of photographers contemplating nature’s fragile beauty and its ever-changing relationship to people. Whether depicting haiku-like moments on a remote Japanese island, the ancient forests of California, or the entire Earth, the images gathered in this sweeping yet intimate issue remind us that nature is not separate from humanity, but entwined with our lives in ways that are both mysterious and profoundly urgent.

Support has been provided by members of Aperture’s Magazine Council: Jon Stryker and Slobodan Randjelović, Susan and Thomas Dunn, Kate Cordsen and Denis O’Leary, and Michael W. Sonnenfeldt, MUUS Collection.
