In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?
I wouldn’t be doing this work without the input of nature. Slowing down, seeing the world in detail, and documenting it is at the core of what I do.
What does it mean to you to be part of a thriving ecosystem?
Just as an organism doesn’t exist in a vacuum, we have to part of where we live — from the air and water to the plants and microorganisms around us. We are all products of the systems around us.
