Venus de Vine is a collection of photographs, which juxtaposes lianas (woody vines), climbers and strangler vines with a woman au naturel not just to illustrate their respective innate beauty in form and textures but also to epitomize the balance in nature. In the conflict between good and evil, life and death; the vine and the woman are my icons It is my hope that "seeing" and the correlation thereof will lead to more compassion and a deeper understanding of our place in this reality.
