The Forest Is Teaching Me

  • Photographer
    Johanne Nyborg, Norway
  • Prize
    Nature Best New Talent / Gold Winner in Nature/Plant

As humans, we’re used to seeing ourselves as the center around which everything else revolves. If you go deep enough into the forest, this enchantment is broken. You’re just one among tens of thousands of other species. This project is a photographic exploration into the remains of the old, virgin forests of Norway: A continuous exercise in balance, humility and respect for the forest elders. A careful and intentional search for our innate intertwinement with the forest and the species that live there.
