evelyn tran – shinrin yoku
Design
Sydney, NSW
“‘Shinrin Yoku’, or ‘forest bathing’, is a popular contemporary practice in Japanese health science, with various health benefits. It involves solitary walks through a natural environment while engaging intimately with all of one’s five senses. With GPS technology and access to the internet, printed street directories are now a thing of the past. This project repurposes them through the integration of Shinrin Yoku with existing hiking tracks. It is a series of guided maps that gives suggestions on how to get the best out of Shinrin Yoku at a particular track – in this edition, Grand Canyon Walk in the Blue Mountains.”
