IN THE HEART OF NATURE: With Vivien Bendlin

There are moments when art and nature come together in such harmony that it feels as though the earth itself has invited us to create. One such moment was captured by Vivien Bendlin a member of our INBLUEM community, whose imagery reflects not just the beauty of the landscape, but the profound connection between souls, family, and the world around them.

This creation unfolded in a magical forest in Germany, where Vivien captured her muses, Amanda and Janina - two sisters whose bond radiates love, as they danced in the light and wove the earth into their rituals. The energy of the space, the connection between these women, and the intention of INBLUEM came together in a moment of pure alignment.
As Vivien reflects:
"Last year, Amanda, a good friend, sent me a picture of this magical forest. In the picture, she was lying on the ground with her hair intertwined with the grass. Fairies must live in there, right? I was so touched by this place and knew I absolutely wanted to create in this beautiful forest someday."

Despite their excitement, time and distance stood in the way, but as Vivien beautifully notes, the project took shape through surrender to the right moment

"We had tried coming together several times, but since we lived very far apart, it didn't come together, and we had to completely surrender to the divine timing for this creation."

When the stars finally aligned, Vivien, Amanda, and Amanda's sister Janina met in this enchanted forest. Vivien describes how the shoot felt less like a planned project and more like an unfolding of something organic, rooted in love and connection.

"Together, we all went into this truly magical forest, and from then on, it felt like everything just happened on its own."

As they danced together in the forest, Vivien watched as the natural world embraced them, and the energy between them filled the air with peace and purpose:

"They danced together and each on their own in the only light spot nearby (I am convinced Mother Nature intentionally invited us to this dance floor ), braided the grass, cuddled up, massaged finger lime into each other's faces, and sang prayers to the land."

It’s moments like these, where creativity and nature blend effortlessly, that make art feel like ritual. For Vivien, it was more than a photoshoot - it was an experience that blurred the lines between observer and participant.

"I don't know how long we were in the forest - about two hours, I think. It felt like a meditation. Like a ritual. So mindful, pure, and spiritual."
"I am so grateful for this co-creation. INBLUEM invited us into a space with so much intention, from which so much more could emerge."

This experience, captured through Vivien's lens, is not just about visual beauty—it’s about the deep, quiet connection that runs through everything. From the bond between two sisters to the rhythms of the forest, this creation speaks to the magic that happens when we trust in the natural flow of life.

To Vivien, Amanda, and Janina—thank you for allowing us to be part of this sacred moment. We are endlessly grateful for the love and intention that brought this vision to life.
