Ya’el Pedroza

Although my work often time deals with the interplay of humans and nature, and what may occur as a response, in my most recent works I have been transitioning into exploring my relationship with nature in a more spiritual, emotional, and subconscious way. It has always been the beauty, strength, and complexities of nature that have drawn me to it as a major theme in my work. I find myself conveying nature not as the victim of human interaction but as a capable and prevailing entity.
