Bare Skin explores the intimate relationship between nature and humanity, revealing the traces we leave behind in the ever-evolving landscapes of the natural world. Like the forest deepens its roots and the tides shift and change, we too are shaped by the rhythms of time. This series delves into the rawness of human presence in nature. Being bare skinned translates into a metaphor where emotion and fragility are laid out in the open, showing the intimate imprint of our existence when time has passed. 

 

We have learned to live linearly. Going from one place to the other, always driven by process and innovation. However, what happens if we start living cyclically? When we go back to the rhythms of the seasons and nature's clock? Through photography, Bare Skin invites viewers to reflect on the harmony and resemblances shared between people and the natural world.
