​The concept is inspired by clearcutting, soil and the complexity of the human soul. I look at the forest, its beauty, growth and tragedy, what grows in the landscape and what breaks, what decays, and the waste that does not decay into the soil. I am trying to understand this system. I sensitively approach the landscape and see a body. As the body grows, processes take place, regardless of whether the elements there are broken on their own initiative or by others. But the soil absorbs the old and new growth begins, everything that happened is recorded in the soil and is transmitted as information to the emerging plants. As a result, the soil layers grow and do not know whether they are improving or disappearing. Will it ever be possible to achieve the status of primeval forest, or will the repeated collapse continue, the happiest phase of which is to become a thicket.
