Pilar
"It's profound for a question, I'd have to say 'Take care of yourself and take care of the Planet !' She answered my question about her message to the world.
'Be good to yourself, don't worry too much', I'd say to the younger me," she answered my second question.
Pilar is Spanish, 'half Galician and half Catalan', living in Finland for the past eight years. She's Head of Unit in the European Chemicals Agency in Helsinki.
Pilar is actually a MD PhD in Hepatology, although she gave up her career in medicine for the benefit of the European Commission which she had joined some nine years ago.
Pilar loves Helsinki and her life here and I loved her genuine, positive attitude.
It was thanks to a ray of light, it shone on her as she was walking in my direction, which made me approach her for a portrait.
It was easy to make photos of Pilar. I liked her 'philosophical poet' look.
Pilar likes travelling and reading. She speaks some French and Italian, and naturally, Spanish and English.
When I showed her the photos she said she was flattered, which made me happy, as she usually didn't like photos of herself, she explained.
This is my 378th submission to The Human Family group.
