Know Hope, Know Dreams
We are ever-connected with nature, with one another and most importantly with our future generations. “Know Hope, Know Dreams” is a video composition of landscape photographs interwoven with emotionally charged portraits conveying the necessity of global compassion and collective actions for our future.
I seek to draw attention to the power within each of us to take intentional positive actions toward respecting ourselves, humankind and our natural world. One cannot exist without the other. We must do this together, not in isolation. Each person in our global community is connected: We all need water. We all need food. We all need shelter. We all need nature to release our personal traumas and to sustain life. We all need to remember that each one of us is a reflection of each other, and when there is no hope or no dreams, nature will cry with us. We all need to work together to Know Hope, Know Dreams.
