Artist's Statement:
Seed dream
Sweetly sleeping
in each seed
life essence is waiting for
all the futures' greatness
Nature's mimetic singing
that celebrates the transformation
The flourishing's rebirth
The feeding hopes' fruit
The shy shrub
rocked by the wind
The discreet plant
on the edge of the gorge
The tree 's roots
looking for the earth's
deepness and mistery
and its untied branches
tending to touch infinity
each leaf, a face
a promise for tomorrow
for the living souls
