LOSING GROUND

by Lorena Moreno Vera

— We know how to narrate “nature,” but it is not everybody’s story. We think about the idea we have created of Nature, a Nature that responds to our needs and categorizations. But, what does it mean to be human at all?

— I don’t know what "human nature” is. Maybe human nature means leaving descriptions of all the things we wipe out.¹
