Immersive Forest is a painting and sound installation composed of a large-scale triptych and a layered sound environment.

The paintings originate from long-term observation of a pine forest located on the Karelian Isthmus, near the Russian-Finnish border — a landscape familiar since childhood. Rather than depicting a specific view, the work develops through memory, repeated observation, and the gradual construction of spatial relationships through color and tonal masses.
 

Within the dark surface of the paintings, tree trunks emerge and dissolve almost abstractly, appearing as unstable vertical rhythms suspended between visibility and disappearance.
 

The installation combines two parallel sound recordings: contemporary recordings of birds in Lille, where the work was created, and archival Soviet vinyl recordings of the same bird species. Played simultaneously within the exhibition space, these recordings create a dialogue across time and geography — between different landscapes, systems of listening, and forms of attention to the natural world.
 

Painting and sound function together as overlapping structures of perception, where observation becomes both a visual and auditory experience.
