I suggest this journey to the viewer where they can meet with mystical and have different questions and reactions. In the painting Into the woods I, there is a group of figures standing in one line crossing a trail without any movement, so the viewer will have some thoughts, and questions could be: who are they? Why they are standing there? Is it a good idea to come closer? If the viewer come closer, there will be more details like scratched faces of these figures, an abandoned house down the trail with a yellow light coming through holes on the roof and cracks between boards. As a result, these narratives will lead for further questions. However, in the next painting Into the woods II the viewer will be faced with more confusing surroundings and a figure that is hiding behind a tree and looking straight to the viewer. In this painting, the viewer will have other questions, for example: why he is looking at me? What should I do? Is he lost? The landscape looks natural, but with the addition of details everything starts to look different, ordinary things become unusual.
