Pamela Grau: When Normalcy Feels Unraveled

I look to nature. It does not rush or explain; it simply heals. For many years Lake Casitas was depleted by drought, a visible reminder of our shared fear and uncertainty around water in our town, it felt like the end of Ojai. Then the rains returned, and the lake filled beyond expectation, overflowing with abundance.

I am currently working on a Lake Casitas series, like a daily prayer in these uncertain times, it grounds me and reminds me that what feels broken is rarely beyond repair.
