Primary Trees

This ongoing series aims to highlight the mesmerizing beauty of trees found in primary forest ecosystems worldwide. Only the forgotten places against which we never declared war or with whom we decided to sign a pact of peace can give rise to this extraordinary paradox of an enigmatic disorder, a great confusion, coupled with an enduring calm, a prodigious serenity: the feeling that here everything is in its place. Blending and immersing myself into these preserved and paradise places is like a journey back in time, a return to a forgotten past along with a journey to an imaginary but nonetheless inexorable future, when the trees and the forest ecosystem, left to their own free evolution and in the long time which is theirs, have regained their rights over all the excesses and omnipresence of humanity. There is something indescribably intense about physically experiencing immersion in a natural or primary forest. These precious places become essential landmarks to be preserved, and these images may be taken as valuable visual testimonies of truly untamed places unsullied by any anthropic consideration and human influence in the most beautiful aesthetic chaos that can be found.
