“Art says that which cannot be said” Deborah Osberg

I was introduced to Deborah’s work through Serra, a non-profit storytelling project that explores rural living, craftsmanship, and philosophy in the mountains of Portugal. They share on Youtube incredible stories of people who have chosen to live in remote mountains in Portugal. Each video sensitively documents their way of living, the challenges they face and their deep connection to nature. I really enjoyed getting to know Deborah and learning about her work.

“I don’t think the future is straightforward. I don’t think we can envision the possibilities that exist in the future. Everything is possible even the things we currently think are impossible are not necessarily always going to be impossible. So I think I hold on to that as well when I’m feeling particularly dejected about politics and world and the way things are going… the way technology is going and I just think human beings are incredibly creative and life is incredibly creative and the world is incredible creative and self-healing”
