Around 1830, Mexican explorer Rafael Rivera discovered land with beautiful green meadows.

In Spanish he called it “las vegas.”

In recent years I began to understand the difference between surviving and thriving. I knew I was simply surviving. To thrive I had to redefine who I am, learn what I need, and choose it again and again.

Using abstraction I reshaped my surroundings to create new worlds of what I wanted to see.

It was my groundwater feeding the meadows.
