FEELINGS

Aug / Dec 2020

After the COVID-19 lockdown, I felt the need to spend time in the woods.

Sun and shade, rain, wind on my face, birdsong, flowers, the contrast between blue sky and green leaves — being there felt necessary. I was drawn back to the simplest elements of nature, and with that, my desire to photograph returned.

Those walks also became moments of reflection.

Nature is beautiful, but it is not gentle. And neither are we.

As I spent more time in the forest, unease slowly crept in. Thoughts followed me along the paths, growing heavier with each visit. The landscape began to echo that state of mind. Dense vegetation, tangled branches, sharp contrasts between light and shadow, intense colours, silent trunks — all of it mirrored a world built on contradiction.

Beauty and tension coexist. Calm and violence sit side by side. Growth and decay are inseparable.

This gallery is not a statement or a solution. It is simply a response — to a moment in time, to a place, and to a state of mind shaped by uncertainty.
