The skies have parched the forest for a while now, the summer sun has been peering through the clear sky and burning the canopies to touch the forest floor. Survival - is the only goal for everything under this burning sun. To survive, the forest has chosen to stand still and fall asleep. It prepares for this impact, for this distress. It sheds, it migrates, it falls asleep. Some wake up, some wake up with great difficulty, some never do. Those who wake, wake to celebrate life, to rejoice and dance in the rain. What does it mean for a forest to fall asleep? How does the forest prepare for this slumber? Who wakes the forest up? How does the forest begin to wake up? Who wakes up, who doesn’t? What does it mean for the forest to fall asleep? Does the forest fall asleep at all? The study aims at answering these questions through research and representing the findings visually in as exciting ways as possible to reimagine and represent the forest and eventually engaging with the forest meaningfully.
