This is an image of connection — with oneself, with roots, with the earth. I photograph so that a woman might remember who she was before words. In a fast and rational world, women often lose touch with their primal nature — the quiet, deep essence within. This project is a reminder of that ancient bond, beyond language, beyond image, beyond social roles. Her form is primal, free from the external. She is part of the earth — grass, breath, silence. This is the image of Woman as Source. Inseparable from nature. Before words.
