The concept on which the series is built explores the intimate nuances of human interaction with the mythologized natural space of the forest. In its creation, the artist sought to capture elements of texture and vegetal structures, highlighting them to evoke the heightened state of awareness a person can experience when alone inside the forest. The work also aims to reveal a natural context often associated with meditative states, which may take on romanticized forms but is not always linked to positive emotions. Against a backdrop of solitude and intense mental state, sensory perception becomes amplified, and the space itself turns personified, even threatening.
Shinrin-yoku: Japanese practice that involves immersing oneself in a forest environment—walking slowly, breathing deeply, and mindfully engaging the senses—to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.
