This series shows a young girl's journey from childhood into adult.
It starts at dawn. She is leaving her home behind, while she walks towards a broad spectrum of colours.
In seven scenes related to seven stages of growth, we see her walking in front of an horizon.
These stages are:
the conscious abandonment of childhood, by taking an independent judgment;
the wonders that may be found on the first independent travel in the outside world;
friendship along the way;
acceptance of first love separation;
achieving emotional balance by learning physical and spiritual navigation;
choosing a target for her adult life;
finally, she walks creating her own path as an adult.

The ideas in our head are so invisible as the hiding roots of the trees.
There is a visual resonance in their fractal structure, very similar to our brain neurons.
Trees help us to be deeply inspired, as it is know it happened to Newton, Buddha, Whitman or Gaudí.
Trees can give us the paper to produce our books, that we use to communicate our ideas with others.
All of us while in venture into the woods, can find a physical and spiritual peace that gives a meaning to our existence.
