Artwork description:

'WHEN WE SAID "YES!"' - a photo of a Cladonia Pixi-cup lichens in dew drops, 2021.

Lichen is an organism created by the algae cells and the fungus symbiosis. The algae produce food through photosynthesis, and the fungus protects the algae and provides nutrients and water for their combined survival.

This collaboration is so good, that allows lichens to survive where many other organisms cannot. They are the bright representatives of that case when 1+1 is more than 2!

I think that symbiosis is about communication when we say YES to each other. It is about the couple, about building a family.

*Interesting detail: I caught this photo on our wedding anniversary, on September 25, while walking in the forest around the house in the morning and thinking about our relationships. For me, it is still a moment to wonder when I catch the images through which Nature kind of speaks with me in visual language. But maybe it is just my fantasies that have flown too far :))
