Tree in flames
In 2004, I knew I wanted to be an artist. Surrounded by insecurities and people who didn’t believe in me, I forgot my dream. Ten years later, in 2014, unhappiness took over. I was lost in chaos, unable to understand why. I felt like a soul trapped in a body without spark, drowning in empty routines. I was working in commercial photography, disconnected from the art that comes from the heart. It was then that I began to meditate for several weeks, and slowly, I discovered the consequences of ignoring my dream and my gifts. I cried. My life felt like a tree in flames.
In a forest of yellow trees in New Forest, UK, I found a red tree. It was the only one for miles around. Its presence overwhelmed me with energy—bold, unique. That tree knew what it was: singular. It showed me that I, too, was unique.
That tree became my guide. It helped me reconnect with my original purpose and recover the inspiration I had lost. I became that tree, deeply rooted in the earth. I dressed in flowers and, dancing with the dry leaves, I found myself again.
In my quest to live fully, I chose to embrace my passion for life once more. Tree in Flames became my first art Project, a reflection of my rebirth and a deep connection to nature and my true essence.
I dedicate this project to all those whose gifts have been undervalued. It's time to embrace the essence of the soul once again.
