FOREST IN A HOLLOW LOG - WALKING MEDITATION IN A LOG (IMMERSIVE ART)

1. An initial idea Since I was in Germany, I have spent quite much time going to the part and enjoy the atmosphere of the native forest, which brings me a different feeling and other overview of the forest. In my perspective, the forest in Germany is almost truly natural, it means that there is mostly not impacted by humans, and keep them as natural as possible, most of time I make a meditation walking in the forest, it helps me to reduce blood pressure and level of stress.

There are a large number of tree falleth, especially in the wintertime. I started noticing fallen trees and realized that a hollow log is a habitat for insects and other creatures and it creates a new circle of life. Inside of hollow logs, I have found a beautiful aesthetic aspect of the forest that we might never notice, in which the structure of logs is complex and rhythmic likes it is architecturally designed by kind of insects. These aspects construct a new overall environment and a different view of the forest. Honestly, the more I explore the hollow log, the more hypnotized I become.

Why I chose meditation and fallen trees as a topic to make my art, it does not really sound relevant. ....(to be continued..)
