2025 Nature & Climate Award Finalists

Submissions to the Nature & Climate Award shifted from representing nature to collaborating with it.

Artists visualize the unseen forces of ecological crisis, crafting works that speak not about but with forests, weather systems, and vanishing species.

Climate anxiety, data grief, and environmental storytelling converged in speculative ecosystems that reframe catastrophe as transformation.
