I AM THE FOREST

The forest stands dark and silent…? Think again! There’s a drilling here, a crackling there, and somewhere a low hum rises from the undergrowth—above it all floats the gentle song of leaves, conducted by the lively branches of trees reaching endlessly toward the sky. The forest lives and speaks, and every step leads deeper into a world where velvety moss and towering trees whisper stories of talking streams and gingerbread houses, of longing, of growth, decay, and transformation.

The forest is a place of retreat, a realm full of secrets—but also a wounded ecosystem. The untamed wilderness of the past has vanished; today, it suffers from air pollution, drought, and overexploitation. And so, the forest tells its own story: of the time when it was still a primeval forest and allowed to grow freely. Of its deep desire to be protected and cherished.

In the end, the forest isn’t so different from us humans—
—or are we not, in many ways, just like the forest?
