              The Forest that Breathes Us

              Jennifer Abbott / Canada / VR / 2025 / World Premiere / 12 min

              A VR journey immersing participants in the sensory lives of a Douglas fir, a coyote, and a humpback whale, inviting reconciliation with the more-than-human world as active collaborators in life.

              The Forest That Breathes Us invites participants to step beyond human-centered perception into the sensory worlds of a Douglas fir, a coyote, and a humpback whale within the interconnected ecosystem of the Pacific Northwest, traditional territory of the Kwakwaka’wakw People. Participants encounter a forest breathing with memory and communication, a coyote perceiving time through scent, and a whale navigating the vastness of the ocean through vibration and sound. This VR experience reveals the agency and collaboration inherent in nature’s processes—a wake-up call and act of reconciliation, inviting us to recognize other-than-human beings as kin, collaborators, and co-creators of life on Earth.
