Print No:1 ‘You Touch and I Tremble’

Set against the rugged backdrop of the Fuerteventura Beach, 'You Touch and I Tremble' captures an evocative interaction between the natural world and the ephemeral sensations it provokes. This photograph explores the sensual connection of elements—sun, wind, water—interacting with the surface of the land and the skin. It is an ode to biomimicry, where the touch of nature, whether it be the warmth of the sun or a gentle gust of wind, evokes a quiver, a tremble akin to goosebumps, reminiscent of the most delicate human responses. Vilma uses this interplay to remind us of the soft, yet profound connections we share with the world around us, highlighting our intrinsic ties to the earth and its elements.

Printed on handmade Uzbek paper, each piece is crafted using a centuries-old technique passed down through generations. Made from the bark of mulberry trees, this method ensures durability and natural texture, making each sheet unique. We do not cut the paper with machinery, preserving its authenticity and allowing the paper to reflect the time it has traveled from. The result is a lasting, organic work of art that celebrates the rich traditions and craftsmanship behind it.
