From the little girl

who cried for the Amazon forest

and crafted seed mosaics on mice tombs,

to the woman

inspired by the Annapurna mountains revealed by lightning,

the old trees of the Camino de Santiago,

and a secret sanctuary

beneath the roots with a wet-earth smell—

it is a space of silence.
