This is a work from the end of 2022 that deals with trees and their specific characteristics of each species and how they can benefit us as humans in our emotions and our character.
In this piece, Cedar equals will. You just have to take a walk through the Amurrio park to be able to enjoy seven great specimens. In this image the light filters through its branches slightly since its leafiness is spectacular.
This project arose as a result of getting to know the world of trees a little better, thanks to reading a few books about trees, and the key was "the springboard" when I tried all those benefits of our beloved trees in "the baths of forest".
After choosing some species of trees that are most abundant where I live and summarizing their main characteristic in one word, this is written in English, Basque and Spanish, I proceeded to take photos of them. Once the RAW file had been developed, he proceeded to make a negative and, using cyanotypes, proceeded to positive the image. The result was blue images with a beautiful analog touch. Finally, in the digitalization process, I changed the typical cyan color of the traditional cyanotype for other colors, green, violet, I also included in the image the tree that it is and the property it transmits. Being a long process but at the same time very rewarding.
