On January 23, 2014, my life stopped with the death of my family. The rural environment in which I dwell offered me the calm and healing my soul needed. It was through the initial contact with animals and nature that I reconnected with life.
A Reflection on Death and Love.
Symbolic and physical death.
Self-love, love for the community, and love for nature.
A self-referential project.Through it, I try to convey, the personal journey I have experienced in recent years and my concern about the destruction of the natural places that help us heal.
