On the topic of love for food, traveling, and photography, the author Julian Barnes navigates them all. His book “Levels of Life”, the most beautiful account of love and grief I have ever read, is my ultimate inspiration for my thesis project, “Amazonas”, about a daughter who loses her father and goes to the Amazon jungle to try to heal from her loss. As he beautifully says: “Nature is so exact, it hurts exactly as much as it is worth. […] If it didn’t matter it wouldn’t matter.” – Luisa Ulhoa, Class of 2018
