Forest is For-Rest. A stroll in a forest is like a journey of rejuvenation, awakening the spirit and taking us away from worries and into serenity. Trees are like our best friends and share with us everything we need for a good healthy balanced life: clean water, air to breathe, shade to rest, food to regain energy, and herbs to make medicines.
We design communities, gardens, and courtyards while feeling inspired by our friends the forests. Integrating the essence of a forest as part of Design is an excellent way to provide homes or workplaces a steady flow of serenity and calm. However, it is sometimes challenging to do so within the confines of a city. I have includes self-potted bonsai trees within the studio, that integrates and brings the essence and feel of a forest and its landscape. These trees, Lagerstroemia, were planted a month ago and are the variety that bloom dark red flowers.
Each time I step into this mini forest studio, I transcend into a magical world wrapped in the scent of leaves and moist soil. We breathe its fresh air and take in the heavenly sight of a beautiful forest with its vibrant green, yellow and deep red hues. This mini forest has transformed the studio into a place of serenity. It is tiny, yet as magical and strong as the real one, reviving the soul, rejuvenating the spirit, and making me feel inspired, alive and thankful.
