Homework


As a student in a very interdisciplinary, self-motivated learning spectrum, I find my life filled with home work.
When it feels overwhelming to read endless pages of information on ecological economics or to explore my mathematical brain, I open HomeWork.

When turning to any page, I am confronted by a plethora of inspiring structures which have been built, by hand.

The pages that send connected chills throughout my being are smack in the middle and carry a large tone of understanding. An aerial image of a Shabono in Venezuela photographed by Yoshio Komatsu.

This structure is inhabited by the reclusive Yanomami Amerindians in a remote part of the Amazon jungle.

Yanomamö means "human being" in their native language.








Shabono - a hut in a cleared section of the jungle built with the cleared resources. A conical or rectangular wood palisade covered by a thatched roof with a hole in the middle.
