This collection is inspired by Nature´s behavior during the 2020 worldwide lockdown due to the Covid 19 virus; nature taking back what has been taken from her by human civilization. We have witnessed what seemed impossible in our lifetime; whales jumping in the middle of Acapulco bay, wild boars in the streets of Israel, coyotes and bears running in main streets, vegetation flourishing in highly devastated areas.

Accepting Our new normal means we need to learn to live in harmony with our surroundings; because in the end nature will always claim what it is hers.

This collection features carbonized American ash wood, using the 300-year-old Japanese technique “Shou Sugi Ban”, as a simulation of human development (buildings, cities, etc); with the use of natural stones inclusions, the artist represents nature claiming back what has been taken away from her.
