Needles have been a constant part of this journey, a reminder of the pain and fragility of our skin. How can something so tiny cause pain -even fear- cause bruises and scars, and how can it influence our lives so much, conditioning routines and new experiences.
Needles have a meaning and a purpose, both in medicine and nature. The leaves of pine and fir trees are like this; among other functions, these leaves protect the seeds in their earliest stage. In a way, that’s what I’ve been trying to do.
