Alexandra Serrano: Nesting In the Wolf Tree

Photograph Description 1
The 'Daydreaming Girl' series depicts the forest as a space of the unseen and mysterious where immensity leads to admiration, contemplation and fright. The territory I've portrayed here is the forest of Fontainebleau, located south of Paris. The latter has become over the years a familiar environment to which I became intimately attached, for the house in which I grew up stood at the edge of this very forest.
