The Shaman’s Ascent is a fine art photography series in which I explore a living dialogue between forest, sky, and human perception. I create these images not as symbols to be decoded, but as experiences that arise before explanation and interpretation.
The works emerge through my authorial way of seeing, where upward movement, rhythm, and layered perception are formed directly in the moment of photographing. Trees extend beyond their physical form, dissolving into flowing structures that guide the gaze toward a state of inner ascent and focused presence. The forest appears not as a landscape, but as a space of transformation and awareness.
In this series, I return to a primordial mode of perception — childlike, shamanic, and ecstatic — where nature is encountered as a sacred space of direct knowledge. As boundaries soften, a subtle connection between human perception and the silent life of trees becomes tangible.
