Having grown up in a rural area of Northern California,
I am inspired by nature. But by necessity living in urban Los Angeles, I have had to look for nature in the city. It occured to me: do the plants and trees care that streets, cars, building etc. encumber their existance
or to them are they irrelevant? This I believe, has helped me to see a new reality:
a reality stripped of human bias and empowered by nature itself.
