Handle with Care
Handle with Care
Much of the reason I came to work with the specimens that I do is because of the journey of transformation they go on in their lives, their fragility and beauty and the resonance this has with us and our lives. Now, what I do on a daily basis, acts as a constant reminder of this for me, the delicacy needed to prepare, repair and display them I think is similar to the delicacy we should have with ourselves and each other. May be if we handle each other with care our natural beauty can flourish, then who knows what we may achieve!
