I Will Tell the Forest Who You Are evokes the forest as a sacred space, a sanctuary of the living world. The figure, at once an eye, a spirit, and a guardian of the forest, stands at the threshold between the visible and invisible worlds. It echoes an animist vision of nature, in which the living world is inhabited by presences, forces, and spirits with which humans can enter into relationship. Its message — “I will tell the forest who you are” — suggests that the forest is also a witness to our presence and to our relationship with the living world. The work thus brings an ancient, spiritual perception of the world into dialogue with contemporary questions surrounding our relationship with nature.
