When we feel something deeply, we could follow it — even when we don’t know how.
If you feel disconnected, go back to nature.
She reminds you where you come from.
And where you belong.
I didn’t know what to expect, and part of me was afraid.
I didn’t know what I was doing — it was just an idea.
I had been in Australia for just over a year when I was struck by the richness of flora and fauna in this place: Cairns, Queensland.
Then the idea came: to find someone willing to be photographed in the middle of this untouched nature, and to see if — and how — the two beings would connect.
I had no doubt they would find each other…
but I wanted to be there, to witness that meeting.
One of the answers to this idea came “by chance” during my working hours at Rusty’s Market. It’s an open-air market, a place where people cross paths, where stories begin.
One day, a regular customer approached the bar. There was something in her eyes I couldn’t ignore
As we got to know each other better, I asked her if she would like to be photographed — I had a project in mind.
I was excited because I had found someone, but I was also scared.
I was about to use a professional camera I barely knew how to handle.
But the truth is… it wasn’t just my first time.
It was hers too.
Neither of us had done anything like this before.
And maybe that’s exactly what made it so real.
There was no pressure, no expectations — just the desire to explore, to feel, to create something together.
We stepped into it side by side.
We first went to the Botanic Garden, and then to Goomboora Park — her idea.
Through the images, and through what I felt while being there,
I witnessed something unfold:
the connection between Jaye and Mother Nature becoming more and more present, more and more alive.
But it wasn’t just about what I saw.
It was about what we experienced together.
It was a shared journey — something we entered without knowing where it would lead,
guided only by curiosity, trust, and a quiet sense of excitement.
That was the most beautiful gift I could receive.
It showed me that when we feel something deeply, we should follow it —
even when we don’t know how.
My gratitude for Jaye, for her presence and her openness,
is what made me want to give this experience a voice,
instead of leaving it silently stored on a hard drive.
My invitation is simple:when you feel disconnected, go back to nature —
she knows how to hold you.
