Gabriela Spader surrendered to the raw rhythms of the earth, her gaze fierce, every pose an ode to the primal connection she seeks. “Right away we connected because we have the same vision of the world: That by coming back to our essence, liberating our animal instinct, we would regain this connection with nature that some may have lost,” she reflects.
This compelling series, captured by the lens of Alma Cigana, showcases their shared journey back to nature’s heart.
