With a focus on environmental healing and sustainability, the Art Forest offers a platform for large-scale artistic expressions that engage directly with the natural landscape. Highlights include Nakaya’s Fog Forest, Arena’s GOD, and Ubatsat’s Pilgrimage to Eternity, creating an immersive space where art becomes an extension of the environment, fostering mindfulness and cultural dialogue.
