In Summer 2022, a terrible forest fire spread in North-East Italy, near the Italian-Slovenian border. This area, referred to as the Carso Forest, was greatly devastated. In this traumatic summer nearly 200,000 square metres of the forest were burnt down.

Having visited these areas multiple times while growing up in Friuli Venezia-Giulia, and knowing many people who were affected personally by these events, I felt the need to re-elaborate and process the trauma lived by the forest. In November 2022, I visited this area - specifically between Jamiano in Italy, and Brestovica Pri Komnu in Slovenia.
This area was one of the areas which was affected the most. I decided to document and re-elaborate what I found in the site in November, about 3-months after the traumatic event. This was the start of a 12-month research project, analysing the devastation and rebirth of the forest through different artistic media in connection to the idea of trauma in Psychology, Chemical reactions, and practices of Memorial Art.
