Inspiration
Luberon, six stirs something in me that's hard to put into words—an almost unattainable, raw sensation. It's like reaching for something, seeing it, but not quite being able to grasp it. It's there, yet it isn't. It's akin to looking at your hurt, feeling the pain, yet being able to see the beauty in those tears rolling down your cheeks. Thinking of the difficulties faced, acknowledging the pain, yet seeing that it's intertwined with beauty. In this Earth Painting, I aimed to capture that sensation, the one I feel right in my chest as I write this. I wanted to visualize that essence of humanity—the raw, intricate layers that make us who we are.
