Lea Kannar

Mangroves... hold their memories like badges, witnesses to the memories of the landscape. Unwilling companions to our impositions of change. Like sentinels on the sand, you feel like an interloper into a world beyond your mind, one where they move quietly and gracefully as though dancing upon the sands. Many have fallen to human settlement but in the darker places under the canopy they spread. You can see their true selves, with their walking legs.
