The exploration of my topic grew out of curiosity of growing up and living so close to nature, arguing that being in nature have many positive health effects for both body and soul. Nature experiences also have an important social significance. The project evolved into exploring the value of the local elders knowledge and narratives connected to the local nature around Växjö - stories that are a subtle power of culture that shaped landscapes. What is unknown and what is unseen and how much do we really know about our local nature in Småland? Nature is not static, it is always changing and so is our society, and as a reminder of the natural world, this project is about generating a tangible meeting point between human and mind and portraying the individuals connection to nature inspired by local narratives, which in turn can inspire those who are unfamiliar with the region of Småland wilderness. The aim with my project investigate how to find new ways to interact with local nature through storytelling. The design is therefore a research method that empowers the elderlies generation stories about local nature.
