Direct Revelation 3009

“Direct Revelations” explores our intimate, tactile relationship with nature. Through this body of work, Beard reawakened her deep sense of belonging to the earth—a bond forged in childhood, clambering across rocks, gazing into tidal pools alive with periwinkles and coralline algae, and feeling the trees’ quiet guardianship. These photographs are a prayer to our interconnectedness, an invitation to remember that we are part of nature, and nature is part of us.
