Naturalist Heart by Maquenda

Naturalist Heart

Maquenda

A personal artwork featuring Nimmeth and all kinds of things related to my childhood. I could have added so much more, but alas, there is only so much space to fill and still make a coherent piece. :P

Nature has always been fascinating to me and made me feel at home in times of turmoil. Each plant, feather and bone is filled with memories and emotions and make me feel grateful to my parents that they allowed me to be free to explore, collect, fish and swim and get dirty. They never forced any ideas on me of what a 'girl' should act and look like, which is something that I've taken for granted for a long time. My dad would show us which nuts and seeds were edible and encouraged me in my naturalist endeavours and my mom would keep bags and jars for me to collect skulls and shells in during holidays in nature. Nobody is perfect but I'd say that was a proper act of love.
