A Forest of Coexistence
A Forest of Coexistence journeys through the natural cycles and rhythms of nature. The seasons changes steadily, a constant cycle of life, death and renewal. All of Eunna’s work begins in the forest, taking photographs across Alberta and British Columbia. In the studio she stitches into the photographs, patiently adding thread to the gills of mushrooms or following the ridgeline of a mountain. With paint and screen printing, she adds to the image, bridging an imaginary world with the wonder she found already thriving on the forest floor.
Here we remember that we are part of a wide, living, vibrant world - connected and belonging. We seek out the forest, retreating to it, breathing it in deeply for treasured moments. But the forest does not simply exist for us. We are part of it, bound to it, sharing a fate. Within A Forest of Coexistence, Eunna hopes to ground us in the wisdom that we do not exist separately from the natural world, and so we must all work to build a future where nature and humanity can exist in true harmony.
