''Forests are considered by Bettleheim, in his discussion on the Grimm Brothers’ tale, as a place where we go to test ourselves, as a transitional space where the protagonist must enter to finally emerge in a modified state. In Croatia and specifically in Risnjak National Park Chrystel Lebas tested herself, going deeper and deeper into the forest that is still very much in its original state, compared to the ones in western part of Europe: Potentially dangerous large animals are present; Bears, stags, Wolfs and lynx are there to remind us of nature’s original functions hence questioning our relationship with the natural environment and how do we respond to wilderness.'' - Chrystel Lebas
