蜗牛
蜗牛虽小，食量惊人，一夜就能吃光一片菜地，难怪农夫厌恶它。 但它并不是乱吃。土壤肥沃、庄稼健康时，它只吃老叶；土壤贫瘠、植物长不好时，它便来清理干净。它没有眼睛可以远望，凭着直觉与触须，总能出现在需要它的地方。死后，它的外壳还会化作钙质，回馈贫瘠的土地。 这就是它的使命。 我们身边也有这样的人，看似对社会没有贡献，却一定有他们存在的意义，等待我们去发现。

何少燕
她的一生，始终与自然和美同行。 早年留学法国，归国后投身服装设计十余年，在布料与剪裁之间雕琢美感。2015年，她转身创业，承接装修与修缮工程，为一个个空间重新注入秩序与温度。 近年，她潜心学习生物动力园艺，在泥土、四季与万物的节律中找到新的启示：每一个生命都有它的位置，即使是被人忽视、甚至嫌弃的，也在默默滋养着土地。大自然慷慨地赐予我们一切，而守护这份平衡，是我们共同的责任。 这份领悟，如今化作她笔下的色彩与画面。

Nature and beauty have shaped her path from the start.
After studying in France, she spent over a decade in fashion design, finding beauty in fabric and form. In 2015 she set out on her own, taking on renovation and repair work and bringing order and warmth back to tired spaces.
In recent years, biodynamic gardening has opened her eyes to the rhythms of soil, seasons and living things.
She has come to see that every creature has its place, even those we overlook or dislike, quietly feeding the earth. Nature gives generously, but keeping that balance is up to all of us.
Her paintings are where these lessons take shape.

The Snail
Small as it is, a snail can strip a vegetable patch in a single night. No wonder farmers can't stand it. Yet it is not as greedy as it looks. In rich soil, where crops grow strong, it nibbles only the old leaves. Where the soil is poor and plants struggle, it moves in and clears them away. It cannot see far ahead, but guided by instinct and its tentacles, it always turns up where it is needed. When it dies, its shell breaks down and returns calcium to the earth. That is its purpose. There are people like this around us too. They may seem to give little to the world, but they are here for a reason, one still waiting to be discovered.
小树苗
种子从树上落下，冒出两片可爱的子叶。小小的它，已记着成为一棵大树的使命。 我把它带回家，养在水里。它一直活着，一个月后，茎长高了一点，却始终只有两片子叶。 离开了土地，它的成长就停住了。
The Seedling
A seed falls from a tree and opens into two tender leaves. Tiny as it is, it already carries the memory of the tree it is meant to become. I brought one home and kept it in water. It stayed alive. After a month, its stem had grown a little taller, but it still had only those two first leaves. Away from the soil, it simply stopped growing.
