Ábel in the Forest is a visual diary created during two months of isolation in the forests of Mikebuda, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

After the university closed, I moved to a small house in the woods, where I learned to rely on myself in an unfamiliar environment.

Coming from the city, I had to adapt to a slower, more demanding way of life — making fire, trapping mice, fixing things and the feeling that you are on your own.

I faced with harsh, untamed wilderness with bitterly cold winter, and death. Despite the challenges, I pushed my boundaries and learnt a lot of myself.

The series documents this period of solitude, reflecting on the struggle to adapt and the simple beauty of living close to nature.                                                                           (2021)
