My Forest

since 2023
long-term project

ABOUT THE PROJECT

A personal record of encounters with the forest — a place that feels close and is open to everyone, yet remains not entirely known.

To me, the forest is more than just a part of the landscape. It is a space I enter with my own mood, memories and way of seeing, not always aware of what I bring with me. I do not try to describe it. I stop at places that speak to me and want to stay with me a little longer.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

“My Forest” is a series still taking shape. And still dying. Its rhythm changes with the passing of time. Some places fall silent, while others begin to whisper or scream.

The title holds a question: how much of an image of a place comes from the place itself, and how much do we bring with us?
