In what ways does nature inspire or inform your work?
I have realized that nature is a part of us and we are a part of nature, even in urban environments nature is present in all that we experience. I try to reflect this in the work that I do.
What does it mean to you to be part of a thriving ecosystem?
Being part of a system that does not build on exploitation but on mutual respect, collaboration, and co-existence. Also realizing that change is constant and learning to work with it.
