HARA Earth Women Volume 4. Kai Avent-deLeon
"The natural world has everything we need. I always feel like the answers we are searching for are already inside of us and the natural world is the medicine"
How does the natural world inspire your art/work/life?
Living territories are at the root of my daily inspiration and home to everything I create. I come back to the natural world often and when I need to feel in my body - everything else is just an offspring of my time there. I want to create a way that influences people to come back to living territories and spend time with the community.

How does living between different environments shape your work?
I much prefer being areas with less artificial stimulation at this stage of my life, the noise, the pace, and the constant pressure to produce doesn't resonate with me anymore. When I am upstate or anywhere with less buildings and people I feel most at home and most at peace.
