Into The Forest I Jan Lenhardt

It has often been demonstrated that nature provides respite for our overactive minds, it calms us, recalibrates our focus, lowers our blood pressure and relieves our anxieties. We often seek it out during times of distress, inherently knowing its healing properties. This intuitive seeking for the curative powers of nature is eloquently captured in ‘Into the Forest’ by German-based photographer Jan Lenhardt. It’s a subtle, contemplative piece that evokes feelings of peacefulness and assuages our inner disquiet. The lush canopy and dense undergrowth envelopes a misty centre prised apart by charcoal tree trunks dissipating off into the distance. This lends the composition an almost abstract air as the tones and forms blend to create a tranquil unified whole into which we feel drawn.
