Selva

In a moment suspended in time we share a journey through our past, present and future. The knowledge of who we are is lost, yet our instinctual consciousness has the power to recall it. The traces of our ancestors unfold stories that make us witness the birth of many cycles, they are a unison voice that whispers of origins and ends, appearing disguised as dust and rubble or cold moist soil. Are we able to recognise strength in unexpected places? Selva is a densely packed jungle grown out of the path women have been treading for the past 100 years of our society.
