In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?
I believe that nature can inspire society to move to a more holistic model of being away from individualism. Personally, it teaches me to embrace the interconnectedness of all living beings and to reflect meaningfully on collective environmental resistance and activism in my writing.
What does it mean to you to be part of a thriving ecosystem?
A thriving ecosystem is where all parts come together to create a functioning whole. This includes humans in nature, who are not a separate element but a part of it.
