Michelle Ockert is a visual artist from British Columbia, Canada, based in Lisboa, Portugal She creates analog collages using National Geographic magazines Having grown up in a valley encapsulated by surrounding mountains, Michelle developed a deep relationship with the natural world, seeing it as a reflection of the tides of emotion that crash within She translates, deconstructs, and philosophises this sacred yet confusing connection we develop with ourselves as we venture past the water's edge and into the depth of our subconscious Her collages reveal an intuitive knowing that what we seek outside must first be planted within; as our hands reach out for greater understanding, this innate bond is always there to illuminate more than the eye can see
