Kate Lionis , Surrender to Nature (PORTRAIT 2022)

These 3 images are a part of an ongoing series exploring our physical and emotional relationship to Mother Nature. In times of stress or trouble we find our solace when we can surrender to nature, how nature in returns balms us allowing us to heal. Commonly we see these images with women communing with nature and I was interested to observe how a man would interpret this idea. As this idea is universal, I am interested to see how different people understand and interpret it. I really enjoyed how there was more extension in the body, opening allowing more connection with the earth.
