The single-channel video work draws attention effortless movement of nature within itself and to the cycle of existence and consists of two separate images. While on the left side we see traces of human destruction, on the other side we watch the transformation of animals and nature within themselves.

We pass through the strange door at the entrance to the forest. There are only bird sounds. The rustling of the trees also accompanies the bird sounds. We’re getting out of the car. Our footsteps get involved too. I take a step, I hear a bird  noise. I am heading in the direction of the birds’ voices. My eyes look for the birds, but I can’t see them. I’m getting closer to the sound, I still can’t see it. As I take a step, the sounds get closer and the image disappears.

“ Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.”

(Genesis: 6:11)
