In a world that gets harder and harder and where we the last couple of years have endured several global crises like the pandemic, war, financial issues and where climate- and environmental issues are probably the most severe of them all it has become more and more important to find ways to feel good. In Japan they created something called Shinrin-yoku, forest bath, in the eighties. It was created to cope with a stressful work life but it works just as well for other stress factors.
The book and Fine Art Prints are available in the shop.
The book and the photo exhibition is the result of my visits and thoughts in various forests during the last two years. Both in the vicinity of my home but also as far away as Mount Mgahinga in Uganda’s mist covered Virunga mountains.
The project is supported financially by Region Östergötland.
The preface is written by Anders Geidemark in a very poetic manner, but Swedish only.
Ja, vad är det med Skog, som får oss neutraliserade, då vardagen skymmer vår glädje?
Ledsna, besvikna och frustrerade, får en vistelse i Skogen, oss balanserade.
Det är lätt att famla efter vetenskap; vi är som art uppväxta och formade i naturen, och därför finner vi en trygghet och igenkänning, då vi kommer ”hem”, till Skogen.
