for the natural world. We are a part of nature, not separate
from it. When we protect nature, we protect ourselves. Our
gratitude will ensure the earth [remains] a beautiful, healthy,
sustainable home for plants and animals, for me and for you,
for our children, and grandchildren, and beyond.
P: As founder of MOVING ART, what do you hope to
achieve?
S: MOVING ART is the world’s first collection of groundbreaking 2D and 3D moving images created specifically as
experiential entertainment or fine art for display on digital
screens. It offers enchanting escapes from the stresses of daily
life, providing a way to connect with ourselves, each other,
and the natural world. It transforms your space; therefore, [it
transforms] you. And through this transformation—this shift
in people’s consciousness—I hope to induce the paradigm
necessary to protect the planet. By getting people to fall in
love with nature, I hope we will begin to take better care of it.
P: You said: “Beauty and seduction [are] nature’s tools
for survival, because we will protect what we fall in
love with.” Other than film and nature, what’s the
one thing you are most in love with?
S: Life itself. Beauty directs us to keep life living forward. We
protect what we fall in love with; therefore, we are hardwired
to keep our DNA moving forward. Taste, touch, smell and
color are all designed to manipulate us in a way to enable the
continuity of life.
P: How do you live the spa lifestyle?
S: I [often] do what I call the “Louie circuit”: dip into our
solar-heated pool, go into the steam room and take an
outdoor shower. I do this as my personal form of meditation.
I also love to garden; it helps me maintain my equilibrium. ■
