Humans have this incredible quality to imagine things. We imagine things and the formed image gets crystallized in our minds. It is that image which the mind constructs picking up the elements that strikes the most to our hearts and minds. And then there are these wonderful story-tellers who have created an imagined world for us in the form of stories. ‘Forests’ existed in these stories since the very beginning. We have grown up and evolved with these stories about forests. We shared that association to the forest through these stories which we now see in the form of myths, inscriptions, reliefs, murals, paintings etc. This project seeks to explore the possibility of translating a story/narrative into a Spatial Experience. Site shall be addressed as an experimental ground where through a spatial experience, mind and nature would meet. Experiencing the continuity of the forest through series of gestures wherein, one pauses, wonders and introspects the surrounding dimensions. An idea of re-connecting to the memory of forest that prevails in each one of us and address the question: Can forest spaces narrate stories to the viewer?
