A forest, is just a forest. A forest is but a forest to the one who sees but does not look. A forest is more than an assemblage of branches, trunks, leaves, young and dry wood. For those who look closely, there is more to discover. Isn't the forest the domain of Elves and trolls, gnomes and wicked witches. A forest, the home of mythical figures, Gods, goddesses, heroes, saints. Walk through a dark forest, and behind every tree there seems to be someone. The cold wind that suddenly picks up. Is it really the wind. A forest, stripped of reality, a place where your imagination will always lead you astray. Come into your imagination, fairies and gnomes, or witches and demons? Using a retrolens, reality became a fantasy.
