Believe in staying grounded- connected to the earth and keeping yourself open to its powerful cathartic qualities. To reboot and regroup my inner self, I practice healing through connecting with the earth under my feet, frequenting wooded areas and waterways. Along my journey, I often collect plants- especially ferns- that I find interesting or just simply select as a token to remember the way I felt at that moment in time. Framing the plant brings the beauty of nature indoors while preserving the integrity of the specimen. Isolating each leaf, bud and stem to bring focus to its intricacies. Surrounding my everyday environment with these pieces, I can study the tiny miracles within its details to invoke the captured emotion, reviving the moment over again, any time I like.
