Amo Ergo Sum In a world that so often values thinking over feeling, Amo ergo sum—I love, therefore I am—offers a different truth. This artwork invites you to see with the heart, to reconnect with yourself in love, and from that place look lovingly toward the world. Being here, fully and softly, gives life its true value. As Henriette Roland Holst wrote: “The gentle forces will surely overcome.” The traditional idea of cogito ergo sum—I think, therefore I am—captures only part of what it means to be human. The wisdom of the heart may be deeper still, connecting us to all living beings on Earth. This piece is a reminder that love is not only a feeling, but a way of existing—one that binds, softens, and ultimately transforms.

mulberry paper

Mulberry paper is made from the inner bark of the mulberry tree. The bark can be harvested without cutting the tree down, as it grows back over time, which makes it a sustainable material.

I love to work with this paper because it has a natural, soft feel and a slightly irregular texture. to me it looks a bit like silk — a comparison that makes sense when you think about how silkworms feed on the leaves of the mulberry tree.

For me, it’s a simple, honest material that fits well with the way I work.
