"Perspectives from the Plains," 2025 This image perfectly captures a controlled prairie fire in the night. This is a practice with deep ties to the Kansas landscape, often in the Flint Hills. To me, this photograph is a story of renewal and the natural cycle of the plains. The fire appears like a scar to me between the new and old. I find it haunting yet beautiful. --Rebecca Snyder, WU student
