Statement
I am a woman of earth. My hands are fire, my spirit is the air that links the memory of men and women that holds life. The ocean of time surrounds me and gives birth to ancient forms that touch your soul.
You know as I know. I'm a medium.
And also, I am a woman that likes to play. A precious stone. Sand. Light.
I belong to the roots of humankind: I can slightly get into your dreams. The magic speaks as you touch the mud hard as stone. The dust made glass. The flesh made light.
