The forest is the ultimate expression of nature, where the density of life reaches its peak. This is an attempt to see the forest beneath the trees. Hungry for light, trees let only occasional beams escape to the lower levels, and mostly for only a few moments, but still enough to offer viable conditions for the forest’s humbler citizens who are thereby allowed to contribute to an organic whole. The forest may even seem to possess spiritual properties, often strong enough to, in the longer term, resist human intrusion .
