The Heartbeat of the Forest -About Theme and Concept

There is a river near where I live, and it is a place that has inspired me to think and create.
The beauty of nature is all around us, and if we stop and look at it, we can see what it means to live and what I want to be as a human being.
It is the flow of the river, the sparkling surface of the water
A mossy stone, the trunk of a tree by the side of the road.
For me, a forest is a place where all these "living things" come together.
It transcends time and space, and becomes the inner source of my heart, and the "Heartbeat of the Forest" is born.
