Skin of the Forest: a Photographic Dialogue between Body and Nature
“Skin of the Forest” is a contemplative photo series where outdoor photography becomes a ritual of reconnection. Shot entirely in nature, it explores how the human body dissolves into the forest not as an intruder, but as kin. A quiet, intimate return to presence.
Athens and Syracuse resemble each other (and I think both have forgotten it)

But, between a ‘how do I read the e-book?’ and a ‘where was that bakery?’, I discovered something unexpected: unplugging (almost literally) helped me regain time for my projects, some peace of mind and even better sleep. Here's how it went.

August Sander: German Portraits and Documentary Photography of the 20th Century
