Photography becomes just a means of recording an unstable action, a small therapy and autotherapy in nature. I wanted to put a person in the opposite role, where the landscape is not bound by him, but the person is under its influence. Putting a person in a role where he is forced to listen to her and think of her as an environment in which we should be inspired and respected. The photographs were created in the form of therapy, both by the photographer and by the photographed model, who is literally lined with nature and absorbs its energy. In essence, I wanted the person himself to be bound by the landscape, to perceive its structure, smell, colors and taste. To be literally absorbed by her work for at least a moment, to empathize with the opposite role and perceive the chasm created by the violent rupture of the bonds that have been the primary basis of human existence for ages.
