A Forest Once Stood Here (Diptych)

A Forest Once Stood Here is a stark yet poetic site of ecological and symbolic resonance. This work acts as a meditation on land as a holder of ancestral and ecological memory, drawing from Caroline Christie-Coxon’s ongoing exploration of place-memory, elemental transformation, and humanity’s entanglement with Nature. The title invokes a paradox—suggesting both what has vanished and what persists. Through a quiet encounter between body, place, and time, the work considers humanity’s relationship with the living world through themes of change, consequence, and continuity.
