I used also some parts of The Blue Forest evokes a common and widespread condition, the asphyxiating sensation that comes when we find ourselves overwhelmed by the sprouting of the many seeds planted during our lives and become trees with bulky trunks that seem to draw energy by subtracting it from the roots, depriving the days of the sun's rays with their lush foliage and relegating aspirations and projects to a shadow that preludes oblivion.An initiatory place of excellence in fairy tales and stories, the forest is a metaphor for existence itself with its infinite paths, its dizzying heights projected towards the sky, the alternation of light that filters through the branches and the darkness that alludes to the mystery that dwells between the visible and the invisible, the tension between the need for stability entrusted to deep roots and the yearning for freedom, between the urgency of concreteness and the desire for escape, for lightness. Labyrinthine, protective and threatening at the same time, it is the place of discovery, exploration and the search for one’s own paths. Whatever road one is taking, Michela Cavagna invites one to explore its most hidden meanders, to cross one’s own forest defeating fears, overcoming obstacles, tracing a new and very personal path, rediscovering the wonder kept here since childhood and, last but not least, the plurality of perspectives of the present and the future that the saving light of ancient dreams still illuminates, nourishes and guides.
