I had a dream and I talked with a tree - is a photographic and narrative project rooted in introspection, meditation, and disconnection from habitual reality.
After a period of not using my camera, during which I was focused on reading and meditation, I unexpectedly found myself walking in a forest. There, I began an imagined dialogue with a tree—majestic, grounded, and reaching toward the sky.
The tree tells me it has been waiting for me and encourages me to search for my home. This question—Where is my home?—becomes the beginning of a wandering journey through dense forest paths, where no house is visible, only trees, leaves, insects, and fragments of sky.
Seeking rest, I ask another tree if I can climb onto its branches. From above, I suddenly see a distant city: restless, noisy, filled with movement, smoke, and confusion. It feels alien and unsettling, something I wish I could erase. Yet in contrast, the forest feels alive, quiet, and luminous. Sitting on the branch, I experience a shift in perception, a fragile sense of presence and clarity.
The narrative concludes with a question addressed to the tree: “Do you know why I have this body?” — opening a space of reflection on identity, embodiment, and belonging.
