Camila Buitrago
Camila Buitrago is an interdisciplinary environmental scientist, artist, and current master’s student at the Yale School of the Environment. Her academic work focuses on public perceptions & communication of climate change, and justice-centered land stewardship. I make art to reconcile the dream and nightmare of being human and an environmentalist in the 21st century. My art—mainly paintings, fiber art, and ceramic sculptures—hopes to visualize the divine super natural on natural forms. Both my academic and creative work are driven by a yearning to mend the human-nature relationship, and ultimately dissolve the illusion of separation between the two. I am proudly 1st generation Colombian-Venezuelan. I use recycled materials in my work and life as often as I can.
Naurica Encarnación
Naurica Encarnación (she/her) is a 1st year MEM student specializing in PE2 that’s joined Sage Magazine as the Community & Events Coordinator. She grew up in Los Angeles, CA. Before starting at YSE, she spent six years in Atlanta, GA eating lemon pepper wet chicken wings, getting a degree in environmental science and chemistry, and learning about how inequities spatially manifest across landscapes, especially within an urban context. Naurica loves visual art and the written word (poetry should always be read aloud!), and is excited to help bring Sage 2026 to life.
