Women of the Forest
A photo series documenting the rise of women climbing in the forest of sandstone boulders in Fontainebleau, France. The project seeks to understand the relationship between these women and the forest, as they explore their physical and mental limits through introspection, the community and the unique movement style characteristic of the bouldering in Fontainebleau.
