My family's house in Taiwan sits at the foot of a mountain. Growing up, I spent a lot of time staring at it. Morning to night, the same trees, the same rocks. But they never looked the same. The light shifted, the weather changed, and suddenly the whole mountain carried a different quality. Same place, different presence every time.

I've also always been obsessed with flipped worlds. Probably because Inception left a permanent mark on me. That feeling of a familiar space folding into something impossible.

Forest combines both. One side is familiar — trees swaying, light filtering through leaves, the kind of scene you might see on a hiking trail. Then it flips. The same forest turns upside down. The trees are still there, growing downward now, and particles scatter where the ground used to be. You're in the same place, but the rules changed.

What if a forest grew in both directions at once — and you were standing at the fold?

This was the piece where Digiscape stopped being a series of pretty landscapes and started becoming something people actually walked away thinking about. The shift from "that looks nice" to "wait, what just happened" is what I've been chasing ever since.
