“I am madly fascinated with life. Isn’t it just so strange and breathtaking? I feel like an outsider observing a peculiar world. I feel like an alien who has stumbled across a foreign place. The intense vibrancy of colours, scents, movements, sounds and tastes in each day. The beauty of nature, with its flourishing plants, spectacular living creatures and changing seasons. The way that us humans live, the houses we live in and decorate, the art we make, the struggles we endure. And I am here… immersed in it! I am in utter awe of it all.”
Welcome to the artistic work of Marie Attfield, a poet whose words and photography celebrate life with a heart fully awake.
Through poetry and slow videography of daily life, such as animals, flowers, trees, mountains, sacred architecture, and nourishing food, Marie invites viewers into a practice of attentiveness and mindfulness.
Seen through a lens of deep observation, her art explores what becomes visible when we pause long enough to truly notice: the extraordinary nature of everyday life, the beauty of the present moment, and the human journey of reflection.
Her work is influenced by contemporary mindfulness practices, documentary photography, and reflective poetry. Drawing inspiration from the simple act of slowing down, she focuses on a deep dedication to human creativity, mental presence, and our natural environment.
