Throughout 2017, I went for a monthly walk and took photos of plants and critters I encountered. These were then composed digitally to frame an inspirational word regarding our relationship with Nature, using the natural harmony between the precisely structured Kufic and the exuberance of living matter. As the year unfolds, the images mirror the changing colors and textures of the seasons.
