Inner Island

'Inner Island- Portals of Denman Island' is a captivating exploration of the landscape. Known as Inner Island (Taystayic and Sla-dai-aich) by the Indigenous people of Comox Valley, it holds a mystical allure. Angelika Forray's artistic photography unveils the island's hidden magic and beauty, capturing moments of presence, awe, and unseen worlds. Forray's work beckons the viewer to see nature in a new light, to shift their perspective and discover the sacredness that surrounds us. The journey begins with the earth - photographs of stones and mushrooms. It then delves into the water world, revealing various sites on Denman Island. The plant world is next, showcasing the medicinal and non-medicinal plants that call Inner Island home. The book concludes with the enchanting portals in the forest, where the beauty of moss, trees, and the green world creates mandala-like gateways.

'Inner Island' is a journey with our eyes to see our inner world, the world we see when we close our eyes and enter into dreams or altered states of consciousness.

It calls our hearts to remember our connection to the Earth and the lands we call home.
