Still Working on Our Message

We’re living through a critical moment in history, and it’s more important than ever to lean into our humanity—our imperfections, our rough edges, our flaws. When we confront what makes us human, we begin to close the divide between us.

In this edition of the Sierra Journal, that spirit is reflected in a hand-made aesthetic that runs throughout the issue. 5 unique cover designs, ripped edges, scribbles, hand-scrawled text, and rotated pages echo the immediacy—and the confusion—of the present moment.

The design of the 2025 edition invites the reader to engage actively: to flip the journal, turn it upside down, and carve their own path through its contents. Readers are asked to follow a nonlinear journey and to decipher meaning in the messiness.
