The forest is my place of strength — a space where I recharge and breathe freely. When I stopped working with commercial constraints, I began exploring the forest as a graphic environment, focusing on atmosphere.
The forest has always felt like a complex subject to depict. It requires a balance between scale and detail, between a sense of inner grandeur and visual harmony. For me, the forest is not just a landscape, but a navigable space. With experience, it offers orientation and calm; without it, it demands attention to light, wind, direction, and path.
In the city, these same orientation cues exist, but we perceive them automatically through signs and signals: stop, go, crossing, dead end. I am particularly interested in covered or wrapped signs — they suggest meaning that is present but temporarily inaccessible, like muted subtitles.
This project merges two environments: the forest and the city. Urban signs appear among trees, raising simple but unsettling questions. Why is there a bus stop in the forest? Why is the traffic light on? Why does this feel possible?
