Elemental draws its primary inspiration from Leonardo Da Vinci quotes around nature. He derived a solid belief that everything in the universe is connected and that through studying/observing nature we can learn about everything. I hoped downtown locals could escape into ethereal Californian landscapes , the overwhelming beauty thats right on the doorstep ... and it's fragility.

In many ways the global change we are living in has encouraged humans to reconnect with nature as a form of self medication/meditation. Undeniably we as a civilization have taken much for granted and as the world still spins on its head maybe one silver lining and a reminder we could all use is that we need her (mother nature) more than she needs us:

'Nature is the source of all true knowledge. She has her own logic, her own laws, she has no effect without cause nor invention without necessity' Leonardo Da Vinci

As technology advances the world becomes more and more digitized, exacerbated by the global pandemic our carbon footprints are becoming ever more complicated. Observers, thinkers, dreamers and creatives how do we receive the weight of responsibility and change, does it bend us? Its safe to say that there is a great deal to be learned from Da Vinci's outlook and if nothing else the value of escapism through studying the natural world is a diamond to be mined.
