Hiking through a cloud forest and observing the detailed embellishments that nature offers is a life changing experience. Having had the opportunity to witness these mysterious yet alluring forests brought out the naturalist in me. The sultriness that lies within produces a contrasting fresh atmosphere that revitalized every sense in my body. Watercolor paintings and personal photographs come together to create a juxtaposition of landscapes, flora and fauna. The soothing qualities of being surrounded by the ingenuity that nature offers can bring upon an individual awareness and tranquility. Leaving all forms of modern day gadgetry and social media behind is calming for metaphysical reasons. This allows focusing on your mind in the purest form. Centering your mind in a fresh environment can lead to an ultimate state of calmness. Exposure to nature has the power to increase an individual’s connectedness to nature, attentional capacity, positive thoughts and the ability to reflect on their life. This piece expresses the significance of immersing oneself in the splendor of the visuals, sounds and smells of the natural environment proves to be my personal trick to release all forms of present stress and anxiety.
