“I believe in the power of nature, in the natural origin within each and everyone of us. We tend to forget about this origin – but reconnecting to it is powerful!”, Josephine said.

She told me that she spends about four hours per day in the forest walking her dog. A few years ago, she and her partner moved from Berlin to the countryside. I asked her whether there was a particular type of landscape that made her feel the connection to nature the most. “Natural nature? If that makes sense”, she laughed. “I mean sort of untainted nature. Not nature formed by human hands. That can be also very rough nature, rocks, mosses, fjords… the power of life shows in such formations. When trees grow on the seemingly most hostile and rocky ground.”

Her smallest shows – at first glance – a hostile ground on the backside, maybe water, maybe mud.

But turn it around and you find a diverse microcosm radiating power, symbolised by the flakes of gold framing a rock and real moss growing around it.
