The project uses Forest Room as a metaphor.

Over the years it has become more of a
concept, a place of belonging, healing or
meditation rather than an actual place.
        

Vana Devatas – Forest Deities

Forests in ancient cultures were experienced as powerful places
for contemplation where supernatural beings and forces dwelled.

In archaic mythologies of arctic people different notions of symbolic
trees are known to have represented sacret retreats and continual
regeneration of the universe and all beings.

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep

Trees have provided plants, animals and us with shelter, food, medicine
and tools. They also suply the oxygen we need to survive. Trees in part
keep the atmosphere clean and protect the earth from erosion.

They Could Not See The Forest

Today only about a third of the world's land
surface remain covered with forests.

The balance of the global ecosystem is
being compromised. We need forests.
Forests are essential for life on earth.

We Have Grown This Way for Years
