Story & Experience

A wonderful little valley which provides the Lake of Constance with sweet water and which is polluted by „cleansed“ sewage water of different communities in the environment and electro smog. 

Act of Beauty 

I looked for a place near the water. Then, I made Land Art accompanied by humming a melody I learnt in my dessert vision quest this year. 

My husband went with me and did his own beauty to the little valley. He cleansed a passage for my snake of leaves and made the photos. He felt very much like himself, being in his own internal centre, protector of our environment and content to be in it.
