WOOD IS LIFE, yes!Universal matter from the most wonderful living beings that inhabit planet Earth.
FORESTS are the most complex manifestation of life on the blue planet. Their profusion, diversity, resilience and antiquity have woven a complex web of life across the terrestrial ecosystem.
In the forest, every biological diversity that chemical processes can combine is alive and present.
The forest is life!
The forest is the most far-reaching example of communal life on the planet — its structure enables the vastest diversity of solidarity and kinship between living beings.
The individual of this community is the TREE.
The eternal pursuit of immortality resonates even after its felling and “death”.
From it comes the magical matter we call WOOD.
