This project consists of six display boards placed on a route through the forest. They mirror and interpret the nature that surrounds them, guiding the viewer’s sight and highlighting details we might not notice or reflect upon otherwise. By experimenting with tactility and color the project facilitates a sensory nature experience, and rethinks how we communicate and learn about nature.

Each display board represents a different type of forest and focus on nature, that you meet on your way through the forest.
