ARTIST FOR THE AMAZON

Testimonial

During Labverde residency, I realized, by being inside this huge forest, the strength, the life and the power that comes from it. But also, thanks to the conferences and the discussions with the other participant of the program (scientists and artists), I realize that this richness is actually very fragile and threaten by human activities, and our way of life on the other side of the planet. Biologist, dendrochronologist, ornithologist, naturalist, historien, inhabitants; they all teach me about the Amazon Rainforest, they all tried to explain why they are worry about it. The amazon matters to me, as it should matters to everyone on earth, because we’re all part of the same planet, and inside the same climate cycles. As I had the chance to experience it, and to realize the richness of the biome, the climate and the beauty of it; now I feel it’s my turn to try to sensibilise people as I can.
