2021 Theme: Vision
Senior Co-editors:
Kevin Chang, MSIV
Bridget Rafferty, MFA, MSIV
What a year it has been for all of us. When we selected this year’s theme and embarked on the journey for this year’s publication in the summer of 2020, we had a limited view of what lay ahead. Now, with the benefit of hindsight, we see that this was an incredible year of creativity and ingenuity on the part of our contributors. We initially worried about receiving enough submissions given the unpredictability and all of the change we faced over the past year, and yet you all responded with vigor, helping to produce what we feel is one of the most unique and powerful editions of Wild Onions to date! The selection process this year was especially difficult because we had so many incredible pieces from which to choose. We thank every one of our artists, photographers, and writers for their time, creativity, and willingness to share their vulnerability with the Wild Onions community. Their vision has provided us all with a glimpse into life from a multitude of angles, transforming this year’s edition into a collectively beautiful publication rich in emotion and experience. We hope you are as touched by this year’s pieces as our staff was. Now, as we approach summer 2021, we again wonder what the upcoming year will hold. We are grateful to have been able to work with such a diverse and enthusiastic student team, the largest that Wild Onions has ever seen! As editors, we rest assured that the publication is in great hands, both with a committed staff of underclass students waiting to take the reins and with a community eager to share their work.
Thank you for this opportunity to serve as senior student editors in this year like no other.
Sincerely,
Kevin and Bridget
