The Mangrove is a birthing retreat that provides a refuge for the multi life forms that live in and by the river. As such it offers an interface between the human settlement and the everyday workings of nature. The tide move in and through the mangroves daily. Life forms are born in this riparian zone, and so are ideas. The Micro and Macro interface presents itself as a surreal manifestation of love and fear.
