Awareness brings change. Art has surprising ways to amplify awareness. Being enchanted by non-human forms can be an exercise of "listening" to new ways to co-inhabit this globe. Hope to find more creative force in nature and in human connections like these to work for an ecological future.

We need to make an effort to deeply connect with the necessities of our world and our environment. We will have to change ourselves, to open space for the new, to be less selfish and help people in need. Art is such a powerful tool to help us be more conscious.
