A Place of Refuge explores the relationship, via a photographic essay, between humans and plants and trees. Images were made during a year-long project in an indoors room, A Place of Refuge, and for some photos, through the windows, towards the outdoors. As time went by, the observer realized that plants and trees exhibited human-like qualities, primarily the need for connection and being part of a society. In this society, individuals took care of each other and ensured the well being and survival of their species. Nature embodies the example to follow for a harmonious life. Image 1 of 6.
