From one of Cristina’s many photographic series, ‘In the Bamboo Forest’ (Chiba, Japan, 2009) explores the holy grass of Asia, Bamboo.
‘Fascinated by the resilience and the beauty of this unique grass, I step into the bamboo forest and I look at it from within. I want to be like the wind that shakes these weeds, like the light that filters through revealing infinite shades of green. I walk around searching for that one frame that would allow me to re-present the experience, and I know that I am searching in vain. Looking around from among the bamboo, the eyes never stop. To freeze the view in one single frame would mean to annihilate myself, and the landscape of which I am a part.’ Cristina Sáez
