SYMBIOTIC FOREST

If a human could resonate with the "psyche" of the forest itself, how would they perceive its system—as an "economy of cooperation," or as something more? Without overcoming an anthropocentric worldview, it is impossible to grasp the phenomenon of the ontological autonomy of all objects within the forest, or their will to distribute resources and benefits equally among all. The forest is an example of a perfect closed-loop ecological system.

In the paired works presented here, the forest exists as an autonomous entity. Within it is already embedded what we might—for lack of a better word—call a "soul." Ecopsychology suggests that there exists some form of "nature's psyche," an interactive field with which one can engage.

When engaging with the forest, a person enters into dialogue with a living entity. The human psyche is capable of deciphering the "language" of nature, thanks to the presence of primordial archetypal structures shared by all beings. Contemporary society may not be able to conceive of nature as sentient, yet it cannot deny that nature possesses a pre-human power and has no need for protection. Deciphering nature's signs is a task incumbent upon the individual, driven by self-preservation—for humanity is merely one of many temporary agents on Earth.

The central question of contemporary ecological philosophy is the rupture between our way of thinking about nature and nature itself. The human being, along with their psyche, is an inseparable part of the biosphere. The archetypes of the unconscious function as primordial matrices, shared by both humanity and nature, reflecting a common experience of dwelling on Earth.
