Nido Creativo - Costa Rica
During the residency at Nido Creativo, an immersive study of the unique flora thriving in Costa Rica's tropical dry forest of Nicoya Peninsula was undertaken.
Collaborating with biologist Ines Obregon and local horticulturist Osiris Lazo Romero, I deepened my understanding of the region's flora through guided walks and personal research in the jungle. In partnership with photographers Inés Prelovsek and Charles Blouin , a series of photoshoots took place, during which native Costa Rican plants were sketched directly onto the bodies of residents in Nosara. Two tattooing sessions took place in natural settings, one in the jungle and another at a mango plantation.
All proceeds from this project supported Finca Loroco, an initiative dedicated to seed preservation.
