The Forest Let Me In

Photographed from within the dense forest, this image places the viewer close to the ground among filtered sunlight, towering trees, and blurred, distinctly magenta vegetation. The striking false-color palette recasts a familiar woodland into a staging ground for a psychological descent, drawing heavily on the artist's foundation in analog film processes. Through its tightly enclosed composition, the photograph presents the landscape as a private refuge. The environment is experienced viscerally from the inside rather than observed from a distance, rendering the enveloping flora as a space of internal shelter.
