Oppen presents a metaphorical forest to symbolise the power and the powerlessness that comes with love, sacrifice, betrayal and loss. With the use of strong images and text, the entire work has a dark and dense energy, creating a moment which allows readers to feel and reflect on their deepest of set human emotions.
'This work is about love; about power and powerlessness; about action and inaction; about sacrifice, betrayal and loss' (Monica Oppen, Bibliotheca Librorum apud Artificem catalogue).
