Walking, City Lights and Tree Spirits
by Sara Brodsky
For my senior project, I attempted to live in the spirit of Thoreau’s essay Walking, where he takes long walks alone to look inward and let go of the worries of the modern day. Ecofeminism uses the concept of gender to analyze relationships between humans and the natural world. Intrigued by this genre of thought, that places importance on the healing of nature in order to heal the larger oppression within human societies, I began my own journey. Many days were spent walking in Central Park, Prospect Park and Tompkins Square Park with my film camera and other days I spent meditating, reading, journaling and creating art. I developed my film and created a photography book and a video that shows, in visual form, my experience.
