Cover art: Blue Morph by Dominic Quagliozzi features a butterfly in profile. Part of artist and lung-transplant recipient Dominic Quagliozzi’s series Transformations, Blue Morph reflects on experiences of lung transplantation. The back of the butterfly's wing in the foreground shows a patchwork of panels in shades of gray, punctuated with circles of brown, ochre, and crimson. The interior of the second wing is a mix of sky blues and sea greens made with sweeping gestural marks over the familiar patterns of hospital gowns.
