Reflections of Nature Mitakuye Oyasin is in Lakota (a.k.a. Sioux) language. Literally, it means "all our relations", but is usually understood as "we are all related." Nature is not only the beach and the ocean, mountains and valleys, forests and lakes. Nature is the Universe. The entire universe is a great organism, a great being, of which we, humans, are just a minute part. As in every organism, everything is intimately related. Everything is functionally interdependent. Each and every one of its parts obeys the same laws, from the movement of the stars of the immense galaxies in space, to the atoms of the molecules of the eyes, with which you are reading these lines. We are a minimal part of Nature. So that, when we contemplate a small flower or an immense landscape, it is Nature contemplating herself, through the eyes of one of her parts, that is us. These photos are reflections of Nature. Reflections through the eyes of the photographer, in places as distant from one another as Argentine Patagonia, the Pacific Northwest, Hawaii, or the Atlantic Coast of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The tiny flower, the immense redwoods, sunny days or snow storms, all of them are reflections of Nature, registered in photographic images. The essence of Nature’s mind —including all of her creatures in their natural state— is originally pure and harmonious. These are images of Nature’s mind perceiving herself through the eyes of one of her smallest creatures: the photographer that registered them. Roberto Curto |
