Gaia – Earth Mother

Long ago before the first human
Before the first tree
Her life began
She breathes and growes,
blood rushes through her veins.
She can feel pain
She can feed us, when we are hungry
Heals us when we are sick
She has the power to give us energy
The power to make us smile
She is not human
She is the Earth

There is a reason, why we call her GAIA - Earth Mother

 

This beautiful poem inspired me for this series.

A series of 10 unique wet plate collodion photographs on aluminium.(22*22 cm) 

With this series, I want to show the beauty of our planet and at the same time revealing humanity in its purest – and most vulnerable form.
