I have a passion for frogs. I can’t hide that. I’ve been studying and playing with frogs since I was a child in South Africa and have been sculpting them for nearly a decade now. So when Steph Froment, my gallerist in Lausanne, sent a picture on Whatsapp of the Red Eyed Tree Frog, I almost fell off my chair! I was overwhelmed with love for this little guy (not the gallerist, the frog :-). That little face is just pure adorableness.Pura Vida, in English, means “Pure Life”. However, these two words have taken on a much deeper meaning in Costa Rica. Pura Vida! It says that no matter your current situation, life for someone else can always be less fortunate than yours. So you need to consider that maybe…just maybe, your situation isn’t all that bad and that no matter how little or how much we have in life, we are all here together and life is short…so start living it “Pura Vida style”.
