SRI /ʃriː/ (Sh-ree) an honorific in Sanskrit that denotes respect.

SELVA /ˈsel.və/ (sel·​va) means jungle in Spanish, derived from Latin “silva” for woods or forest. For me, it connotes dynamism, diversity, density, light, dark, fecundity and the wonderful effulgence and breadth of life.

In poetry, folklore, and depth psychology the woods are often a representation of the sub/un/or yet to be conscious. Sometimes scary and tangled, but always rich when one has the the eyes to see.

Based on my own experiences in the jungles of Peru, selva is also an invitation and an homage to an attitude or stance that acknowledges interdependence, participation, strength, adaptability, and a healthy-dose of individual agency, within the rich context of our internal and external landscapes that are in a constant dialogue of mutual exchange and influence.
