A story about Death and Love.

​Symbolic and physical death.

​Self-love, love for the community, and love for nature.

​On January 23, 2014, my life underwent a radical change that shook the earth and shattered my solid ground into a thousand pieces. The rural environment I dwell in offered me the calm and healing my soul needed to accept my mourning. It was through the initial contact with animals and nature that I reconnected with life.

Embracing "All that changes,- desires, love, needs-, in harmony with the cycles of nature, the -crops, the periods of hibernation, and the spring rains- allowed me to shed beliefs that prevented my healing.

​This is a documentary-conceptual and self-referential project that I have been working on for several years. Through it, I try to convey without words my personal journey and my concern about the destruction of the natural places that help us heal.

The mountains and rivers healed my pain. Here, I have started to take care of myself with native medicinal plants, weaving my nest branch by branch, embracing the synchronicity with my new self and my way of seeing and feeling the world.

A changing world that takes from us and gives to us.

A place where the earth nourishes our body and soul, where I have learned that tomatoes are not eaten in January, nor oranges in May. I’ve learned to distinguish edible mushrooms from poisonous ones, make preserves, and accept my periods of hibernation. I have learned to cultivate the land and myself, to conserve my energy in the valley before embarking on the climb to the summit, to love again, and to appreciate the positive side of everything that changes.

An intimate project, where I need time for “SILENCE”.
