"The delicate mix of strength and gentleness that can be found in nature really fascinates me and I enjoy exploring this balance in my work. Nature’s beauty enriches my soul and continues to bring me comfort and happiness at the precise moment I need it. I feel very strongly that when I show love and respect for nature, nature always returns the favor."
