Sleeping in a forest

This series explores the liminal space between wakefulness and sleep, where the edges of reality soften, and the boundaries between human and nature begin to blur. Inspired by readings such as Sacred Nature by Karen Armstrong and The Language of Trees by Katie Holden, this work delves into the profound, sometimes sacred connection between humanity and the natural world. The forest becomes both a sanctuary and a mirror—a place where time stretches, stills, and folds into itself. Each image captures fleeting moments of stillness and transcendence, reflecting the forest’s quiet power and the way it holds memory, breath, and light in its ancient rhythms. Here, the silence in the trees carries a weight of understanding, and the hum of what is alive rises from the earth like a song. In these moments, you find yourself lost in the eloquence of silence, as if cradled by a quiet heaven where time no longer presses forward. There’s a sense of surrender here—to the forest’s embrace, where godliness floats in the vague, and the lines between self and landscape begin to dissolve. The trees stand as witnesses, whispering truths in shadowed light, until the mountain and the forest is you, reflecting resilience and stillness in equal measure. This body of work seeks to crystallise those ephemeral moments when the forest speaks, and we are quiet enough to hear it—a fragile communion where to exist becomes enough, and transcendence feels within reach.
