“Had I not spent long hours lying in the grass, watching and listening to those small beings, my brothers, perhaps I would have never understood how deeply alive the great Earth is, carrying in her embrace all these infinitely small beings, and drawing them, with us, into the unfathomable expanse.” Elisée Reclus
The work Vivant! starts by stepping away from the overwhelming pace of the city and finding a sense of grounding in the mountains. The work explores how being in this natural landscape, enables a presence and vulnerability that questions our place in the world.
In conversation with inhabitants of these mountains, the work investigates our emotional responses to the landscape. Being confronted with such an environment compels us to look inward. It invites us to pause, to observe, and to perceive deeply.
