19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
I Care
My photographs are a visual and symbolical representation of my spiritual relationship with nature. Nature has been essential in my life to believe what I believe; it has transformed the person I am today and my philosophies. Nature was my only companion during my mental and physical recovery from depression; it was only with nature that I understood the complex questions of my life, to find who I am, to question my existence and purpose in life. It taught me that solitude is not a bad thing to experience, to be alone is not a curse but a gift, without loneliness, I would not have learned that I am a significant human being. Without it, I am not capable of establishing peace and a personal conversation with myself.
