Filmmaker, media, and performance artist Natalie Romero’s photo series Transitions I, II, and III, made in collaboration with CUNY theater and performance PhD student Melissa Flower-Gladney, explores the connection between humans and the natural world.

One photo was taken in the wake of the devastation that Hurricane Maria wrought upon Puerto Rico; another was taken moments after the birth of Flower-Gladney’s child.
