Forest in Spring
Today I went to the forest for the first time this year.
Near the forest edge the snow is almost gone, but deeper inside it is still there. It felt interesting to see how the seasons overlap like that — early spring on one side, winter still present on the other.
The forest was quiet, as it usually is.
I noticed many animal tracks in the snow. They are clearly here, living nearby, even if we rarely see them. It is always a strange and comforting feeling to know that.
Something else surprised me today. For the first time in my life, I saw snowdrops growing in the forest, right at the forest edge. I had never noticed them there before.
Before leaving I also gathered a few small forest treasures — a twig, some dried plants and a few interesting pieces I found on the ground. I don’t know yet what they will become, but perhaps they will find their place in one of the next works.
Walking in the forest always brings a calm kind of clarity. It reminds me where many of the ideas for my work begin🌿
