To live in this world is born from a deep fear of disappearing, from the terror of change, time passing, the loss of loved ones, the fading of reality itself. From this uncertainty, I question my existence, identity, and connection to the world. Nature becomes a mirror through which I seek to reconnect with myself and the present, embracing life’s impermanence.

This work is an attempt to accept reality as it is, to find peace in simply being. Inspired by Mary Oliver’s In Blackwater Woods, it reflects on mortality as essential to truly living. This work doesn’t find clear answers, but instead opens space for further questioning Isn’t it almost impossible not to cling to memories, people, and fleeting moments?
