"I am attracted to primitive or ancient cultures because of the space they devote to the relationship between nature and the sacred, and to the use of symbols and ceremonies. Tribal cultures that were directly inspired by nature developed a language and a direct relationship with these elements, especially the moments of meditation during ceremonies: the personal or collective moment of taking the time to venerate nature or have emotional experiences of the sacred. I realize that for me, each time, I try to give a symbolic charge to my work, as if it were a question of transcribing a subjective feeling of gratitude, meditation or fusion." — Cecilia Andrews
