Nature nominee

What does nature reveal when we go beyond observing with our eyes and mind ? What if we abandon al interpretation and embrace the failure of language ? Listen to the silence and surrender into oneness. The project sacred pause points to natures wisdom bathing in sublime unknown. As subtle seduction invites us to release into the mystery revealing no answers, leaving a receptive heart merging with fragments of essence pausing in time. This collection of my work following the inner call towards capturing without interpretation and expressing a deep intimacy with nature.

I am Mariska, a 52 year old autodidact photographer from the Netherlands. Nature has always been my guide to my creative heart. My journey as beginning photographer has been one of extreem intimacy with nature and gave me a change to integrate and widen my relationship with oneness. Being one with her she reveals her treasures in stillness.

Mystery reveals no answers and so I try to capture her without interpretation. Abandoning thought I surrender to serenity the limitless to choose the translation to my lens. For now my ongoing project is Sacret pause. Thank you so much for reviewing my work.
