WALK WITH NATURE, 2025


WALK WITH NATURE reimagines naturalist John Muir’s reflection:



The installation repurposes large 3D letters, originally part of another riverside work, now stacked one on top of another to spell out WALK WITH NATURE. Relocated to this new site, the letters form a striking sculptural presence that immediately captures attention while inviting visitors to pause and reflect. Positioned within the landscape, the work transforms language into form, encouraging viewers to slow down and attune themselves to the rhythms of the environment. In doing so, it frames and celebrates the living setting while extending Muir’s words into a physical encounter.

At its heart, WALK WITH NATURE underscores the restorative power of the outdoors—fostering clarity of mind, reducing stress, and deepening connection with the land that sustains and nurtures us.

“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.”
