It evokes food, of course, but also, by association, the very act of living.
As a plural noun, *vivres* refers to the provisions essential to sustaining life. It evokes food, of course, but also, by association, the very act of living. Because food connects us, gathers us, nourishes us, and inspires us, this section is an invitation to explore culinary practices, recipes, chefs, and techniques for foraging and preserving that bring us closer to one another. It celebrates a mindful approach to eating, rooted in respect for the living world and the environment, while embracing what matters just as much: the pleasure of sharing a meal, and its intimate connection to the land.
In this issue, we explore the art of the moment, death, nature, and relationships that wither or transform. We question these notions through stories in which the impermanence of everything around us becomes a source of reflection on how we live, create, and engage in a constantly changing world.
The BESIDE Collection brings together simple, lasting pieces rooted in the natural world. An invitation to live more intentionally — with beauty, purpose, and a deeper connection to what surrounds us.
