There is a story behind this image. One day, I was in my room, finishing my assignments. At a point I heard my mother shout for my help so I immediately left my room and went in the terrace. I saw my mother freaking out over a grasshopper which came on he shirt. She was terrified since to her it was huge and dangerous (although it was small and more scared than her). I told her to calm down and helped her get in the house. Soon after I took my camera and starting taking shots of this little fellow. It was so docile. As a confirmation that it was not going to attack and even a bit scared, every time I put the camera in front of its face it turned its back on the camera. Ever since humanity came to be, it formed new artificial structures and created villages, cities and more. At the same time, natural zones continued to co-exist. Nowadays we have become attached to this artificial world we live in and forgot what nature actually feels like. We have become afraid of what we do not make and what we cannot control (such as the grasshopper). We should be able to live with the rest of the natural environment not fight against it, after all we are a product of nature ourselves and the sources of everything we produce derives from nature.
