In 7 photographs and 4 photo/fractal compositions printed on 1 piece of discarded canvas, I capture my encounter with what I step on, what clothes me, the compost of my soil, and the food I eat. With my camera lens, I pay homage to a life-giving plant, the Yarumo, found in humid areas that spread throughout Colombia.

"The Yarumo, with its leaves reflecting my hand, its grooves my wrinkles, as it ages it turns gray and falls to the ground, restoring this cracked soil. Wise grandfather, thank you. Sacred plant, life-giver, for every leaf you shed, you provide extensions of compost, healing erosions, and naturally restoring the land. Thank you again!"
