Day11: Open mind to nature

Rain last night cleared the snow around the residence. Green grass and flowers appeared in front of the residence, which were covered with the snow. I see the “same” scenery every day, but it is actually changing little by little.

I had a conversation about nature and essence with another artist. She took some videos of a forest, but she doesn’t want viewers to feel like as if they experience it. Rather, she hopes that her work will help them actually go to nature. Someone else’s image can be a trigger, but cannot be a reality for you.

It is true that an image is created by someone. It doesn’t take effort to see images through someone’s lens. But to look at the essence of a thing, we need to open up to the thing and be willing to figure out its essence.

We talk about nature a lot and observe it every day here. As we do, nature observes us too. Yes, it is mutual communication. I wonder if nature in Finland comes to like me.
