Sustainability, to me, is about transforming how we relate—to ourselves, society, and the living world. It asks deeper questions about perception, values, education, and power.

It is about recognizing that humans are part of nature, so the separation between humans and the living world dissolves and life can continue, adapt, and evolve beyond systems that no longer serve it.
