Maurille de Smalen is mesmerised by both the rawness and the fragility of life. As a naturally sensitive human being, she adores thrills and challenges and the raw and wild side of life.
Following her intuition and living for herself is the only way. Discovering deeper layers of self, taking risks on a daily basis with the desire to be her most true self. She seeks the wild side, adventure and details that make her smile and get her high on life.
This connection with courage, fragility and raw aspects of life intertwines with her deep longing to create from her inner child. Unspoiled, untaught, unleashed and wild. She always was the wild child, but started to hide this due to societal roles.
She sees her function as similar to an adventurer in the wilderness. The quest she is on is based on going back to her origin — the wild child. And the more she is able to read and follow the natural way the closer she gets to being wild again.
On her trips she will encounter many obstacles and invisible traps but also enclosed ravines, mountains, perfect mornings and blue skies.
Her work is the roadmap others can follow — that we are indeed on one big adventure together. That all those tiny markers on the roadside are worth following. That we are all born to be wild and that our voices matter.
That every human has a right to live and be. As we are all wild, in the end.
