I just learned about 'solastalgia' from philosopher Glenn Albrecht—an emotional connection to place profound enough that its degradation causes genuine distress. Feeling this.

I wrote about Rothko, who died on Feb 26, 1970. He marked my life as an artist. When I first encountered Rothko's vast color fields at the Tate, something shifted within me. The boundaries between canvas and my body dissolved. satosan.substack.com/p/rembering-...

Hey fam, I still think about David Lynch and how much we've lost. How much he gave us. <3

Work directed with photographer Toby Coulson for Atmos Magazine, exploring the essence of rhythm and playfulness in our bodies, with custom-created clothing that speaks to restoring our natural rhythms. There's something magical in how the set design interplays with the children's movements.

As storytellers, as creatives, our power lies in embodying that infinite source of creation. It's how we reclaim our sensual, delicious selves. Embodied awareness is our way back home - intimacy with where we are right now, what is happening, and how we are meeting it.

Grand stuff Lola! Made me think about the notion of 'curation' & what it means & I thought 'queueration', formed of 'queue' (to line up eg experiences/thoughts) and 'ration' (to release slowly & in a measured way). And life is like that - it does not happen all at once! (& another Yellowstone pic!)

This week, the work of Colin Dodgson in Yellowstone for Atmos. A tender and delicate look at national parks and who gets to access them.

Last year, I had the privilege of working with photographer Rinko Kawauchi and published her work "Illuminance" -- which takes us through the profound intimacy of everyday moments. Sharing some of her work here.

“Where does wilderness begin and end?” It doesn’t. We’re not separate from nature; we are its wild brilliance—messy, undefined, chaotic. Edges remind us: The world isn’t rigid categories. It’s ongoing, beautiful entanglements.

Sharing the work of Ana Mendieta who taught us: Art isn’t just seen—it’s performed. Her Silueta series embodies the edge where body and earth meet. Edges are dynamic, alive, and disruptive spaces. A reminder: We are all performing edges, constantly.

Edges aren’t boundaries—they’re thresholds. Spaces where tension meets transformation. Where does womanhood begin, and my Colombianness end? It doesn’t. We’re entanglements, living dances of wild chaos. Your turn: What edges are you dissolving today?

I got so so burnt on twitter and then twitter deleted my account with more than 13K followers, going back has been such a pain. I'm so glad this new frontier exists. <3
