"I am concerned with the way in which we humans see, or don´t see, the nature that surrounds us. I focus on the non-human lives that exist in the cities and that are usually considered too ordinary for us to pay attention to. I believe that investigating the ways in which such apparently insignificant beings affect our own lives could be a launchpad for weakening our anthropocentric way of thinking".
