WHEN WE WERE NATURE: I started to create this project when I moved to Charleston, South Carolina. I’ve discovered lots of places where a feeling of timelessness and serenity dazzled me; I felt the rhythm of nature; I felt an ocean so powerful and purifying; I’ve heard trees whisper my name…
When We Were Nature is a collection of silver gelatin prints. The photographs, in their own simplicity, celebrate the connection of nature and woman; spirituality, wildness and warmness so greatly presented in both - nature and woman.
The project When We Were Nature is related to the project Super(Natural) Woman. The difference is in presentation. Super(Natural) Woman is a collection of dreamy, whimsical double-exposure photographs, When We Were Nature is comprised of one shot images, an impulse of the moment and situation.
ODE TO WOMAN
A woman has
so much kindness
joy and wildness
in her heart
A woman drams, loves
cares, dares
Some days dark
some days bright
she feels
It's like
black and white
lights and shadows
mixed together
now and forever
