I give my blood to Mother Earth on behalf of my children. May they embrace their feminine energy, power, and strength, and choose to bleed freely upon this land.

Someone is building a 30+ story residential building on the grounds of a church plot that neighbors my apartment building. I will likely lose all my sunlight to which I was previously privileged after 18 years here, half my life.

Dedicated to breathing the connection. There are filaments reaching out of the earth into my body. There are deep spaces in the earth that I fall into as it breathes me in.

I wanted to participate, but when I actually went out to do it, imagining how I would lift up my skirt, I found myself coming up against exactly the taboos that make the idea of this project so powerful…

I give my secretions to the land. I want to show and say that I care about the land as much as the land cares for me. It’s a pact. It’s a deal. I am not superior to the land. It’s the harmony.

I dedicate this photo to those men and women who think with their heart. Who have walked their lives with strength and courage. Keeping a smile on their faces despite the difficulties life has thrown at them.
