For this 2024 children’s book collaboration with Forestry England, illustrated by Sofia Iva, we researched contemporary artistic practices to include beautiful artworks that would ignite kids’ imaginations, alongside exciting stories and scientific exploration that unveiled the wonders of trees.
“We the Forest was a dream project and an exciting challenge, merging photography and illustration. Working on a book that celebrates forests through science and art – and explores themes of environmental preservation – felt deeply meaningful. I’m grateful for the trust and creative freedom that the Cultureshock team gave me, which made the process both fulfilling and collaborative. I’m truly proud of the work we created together.”
