This series examines the relationship between human and forest. Each piece of work consists of many photographs taken in various countries. The objects in the images are symbols of the human belief, imagination, struggle and faith, all of which are inseparable from nature. The photographer believes that photographs are a significant source for one’s internal imagery. Thus, the purpose of this work is to reconstruct thoughts gained from experiences, and the prints were made through deconstruction, reconstruction and finally collage.
