In a world that gets harder and harder and where we the last couple of years have endured several global crises it has become more and more important to find ways to feel good. In Japan they created something called Shinrin-yoku, forest bath, in the eighties. It was created to cope with a stressful work life but it works just as well for other stress factors. The book is the result of my visits and thoughts in various forests the last two years. Both in the vicinity of my home in Sweden but also as far away as Mount Mgahinga in Uganda’s mist covered Virunga mountains.

Internationally awarded art photographer using the camera as canvas and nature’s shapes and colors as brush.
