Forest bathing - shinrin-yoku,
(Original: Oil on paper)
Shinrin‑yoku, or forest bathing, is the Japanese practice of slowing down and mindfully immersing oneself in nature. By engaging all the senses — breathing deeply, feeling textures, observing light, and listening tonature’s quiet rhythms — this practice is known to lower cortisol, support immune function, and enhance overall well‑being.
This work captures the moment when sunlight filters through the canopy, bathing the awakening forest in a soft golden glow. Created using a reductive mark‑making technique, gestural brushstrokes reveal a luminous gold underlayer beneath the earthy tones. The result is a dream‑like, atmospheric landscape that evokes the restorative stillness of a forest at first light.
