Around the world
encounters with nature and ancient cities since 1992. For reels access
Nature is indomitable, unpredictable. All you have to do is sit for a long time to realize that nothing that happens around you is predictable. And in that uncertainty I find a lot of peace, love, reflection and many sensations.
In Nature, the new takes centuries, and the old lasts longer than human life. There is always something new: where there was a volcano, today there is a jungle, where there was a jungle, today a desert, and so on in each ecosystem.
And observing that, I can't stop imagining the magnitude of the changes, seconds of force, to change the landscape suddenly.
Thanks to the dozens of people who explained to me, answered my questions. They dedicate their lives to understanding a part of a fantastic whole, leaving their contribution to knowledge, passionate, with their time and energy, which is all we have.
The explanations are incredible, there are thanks to them and I love listening to them.
I can only be there for a while, observing in silence, doing some activity and looking at details, a part, through the camera, to try to capture something of it and share it later.
I am aware that capturing refers to only one sense, vision. Sharing everything that happens, I think I'm not going to make it, because the 5 senses are activated in presence.
What I observe is part of a dynamic, Nature, Civilizations and what they left behind. A dynamic that I feel is greater than what I can count, thousands of species, rocks, etc. all together. Ask, find answers. Sometimes.
I prioritize a place because of a feeling of the moment, or a curiosity that I carried with me as a child, and for many more reasons, but that is where I want to go.
The impact that being there has on me generates a lot of sensations and imaginations and reflections, in my head and in my heart. Nature, art, life come together in my feeling.
As a child I watched documentaries, read Nature magazines and told myself: “be there”.
Faced with Nature, I feel part of the unknown and part, I am in the place that It put me and gives me air every day, and yes, in an instant of that continuous transformation, which is the one that touches me.
Thanks to those who shared trips, my brothers, friends and the people I came across, everything is integrated.
